Failover Modifying Failover Timeouts in Production When an failover pair is actively serving traffic, any changes to the global or subnet failover parameters could result in a failover if you do not perform them in the correct manner. Note - These parameters are not currently synchronized. To prevent a failover from occurring , proceed with the following to prevent an inadvertent failover: 1. Disable failover on both units by disabling the failover flag on the local peers on both units; first on the current primary unit and then the current backup. Refer to "Configuring Active/Passive Failover (CLI)" on page 443 or "Configuring Active/Passive Failover (GUI)" on page 451 for details. 2. Make the changes to failover timeouts required on both systems, in any order. Refer to "Parameters" on page 196 if necessary. 3. Re-enable failover by checking the failover flags on the on the primary Equalizer's local peer and then on the backup. Peer, Interface, Subnet States and Substates The following tables list the various valid states/substates for Peers, Interfaces, and Subnets. Peer State Peer Substate Explanation Start Communicating with remote Peer to join into a Failover configuration. Failed Attempt to configure remote Peer into a failover configuration failed. Success The local and remote Peers have equivalent network configurations. Send Join Configure Failed Success Initialize The local and remote Peers do not have equivalent network configurations. All interfaces have connectivity with the remote Peer. Partial Some of the interfaces do not have connectivity with the remote Peer. Failed None of the interfaces have connectivity with the remote Peer. Waiting An attempt is being made to configure heartbeating on all heartbeating subnets. Failed Heartbeating could not be configured on 1 or more heartbeating subnets on. Start The local and remote Peers are heartbeating on all heartbeating subnets. Configure heartbeating Partial Heartbeating Suspended 438 The local and remote Peers are heartbeating on 1 or more heartbeating subnets. The local and remote Peers are no longer heartbeating on any heartbeating subnets. The local Peer is attempting to re-establish heartbeating with the remote Peer.
