Monitor Move
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>
USE NONE
| NETWORK INTERVAL <
interval> TIMEOUT <timeout>
| SERVICE 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
 NONE—Does not actively monitor the source machine. You will be
responsible for identifying when a failure has occurred and initiating
failover manually.
 NETWORK—Monitors the source by looking for a Storage Mirroring
network response
 SERVICE—Monitors the source by looking for Storage Mirroring service
response
 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 use network interval
5 timeout 25
 monitor move 205.31.2.68 to nic 2 use none 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.
 If you choose to use the service option, your source and target must be
using the same Storage Mirroring port settings. If you choose to use the
network option, the port settings can be different.
 Monitor names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be
enclosed in quotation marks.
