5. Configure the monitor settings (including the IP address to monitor, the target NIC that will
assume the IP address when it fails, the monitor interval and missed packets) by using the
monitor move command.
Command MONITOR MOVE
Description Designates the IP address that will be failed over to the specified target NIC
Syntax
MONITOR MOVE <IP_address> TO NIC <target_NIC>
INTERVAL <
interval> TIMEOUT <timeout> [monitor]
| NOTEST [monitor]
Options
 IP_address—The IP address which should be moved during failover
 target_NIC—The integer value of the target NIC obtained from the
niclist command
 INTERVAL interval—The frequency, in seconds, of the monitor requests
sent to the source machine to see if it is online and active
 TIMEOUT timeout—The number of seconds before failover will occur.
This number is reset to its maximum each time the source sends a
response to the monitor request.
 NOTEST—Allows you to failover an IP address without sending monitor
requests or expecting responses from the source. This option should only
be used if you are monitoring multiple IP addresses but do not want to
send monitor requests to each address.
 monitor—Name of the source machine designated as the monitor
Examples
 monitor move 205.31.2.57 to nic 1 interval 5 timeout 25
 monitor move 205.31.2.68 to nic 2 notest
Notes
 If you do not specify a monitor, the current source designated as the
monitor will be used. If you have not identified a monitor, you will receive
an error message stating that a monitor has not been selected.
 Monitor names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be
enclosed in quotation marks.
