5. Specify that you want to use the monitor that was just created by using the monitor use command.
6. 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 USE
Description Specifies the source machine designated as the monitor that will be used in subsequent monitor
commands
Syntax
MONITOR USE <monitor>
Options monitor—Name of the source machine designated as the monitor
Examples
monitor use indy
Notes Machine names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
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> |
<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—The frequency, in seconds, of the monitor requests sent to the source machine to see if
it is online and active
 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.
 Machine names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
