[Linux-HA] RE: Manual fail-over

[Audet, Jean-Michel]

(I appologize to the dev list, I should have used this list instead)

 

 

I am a heartbeat newbie and probably have newbie questions:

 

 

 

 

1)       Is there a message that a node can send to another node to
force a fail-over in an Active/Standby configuration.  I know that there
is the auto-failover config that can be set but I want to switch-over
only when full checkpointing (synchronization) is completed (cooperative
swith-over).

2)       Currently, I am signing on (signon) using to the "ping" service
to get the nodes status.  I am implementing fail-over for a particular
daemon in linux (named ohd)  so I think I should create an API group
named ohd.  However, when I use ohd has the signon service parameters, I
cannot get any status.  I think I don't understand how exactly it works.
:o(

 

Thanks for any helps.
