FW: NetRAIN implementation questions...
> Our company is interested in implementing NetRAIN on our Tru64 Unix boxes.
> In our computing environment, we need to have as close to 100% uptime as
> possible. I need help from the experts on the following NetRAIN
> questions.
>
> Questions:
>
> Using the default NetRAIN parameters, how long (in seconds) does it take
> for the secondary card to take over for the primary card once the primary
> card fails?
>
> If the primary card goes down and the secondary card takes over as the
> primary, what happens when the primary comes back up online? Does
> NetRAIN/niffd automatically switch back to the primary card?
>
> If I don't use the default NetRAIN parameters, what is the lowest value I
> can set on the nr_timeout_t and the nr_timeout_o parameters? Does this
> truly effect the failover time of the network cards?
>
> What's the best tool, i.e. netstat to monitor what card is currently up
> and running as the primary in the NetRAIN configuration?
>
> Are all NetRAIN messages, such as failover errors etc. sent to the
> syslog.log
> file? Is there a separate log file?
>
> What happens to timeouts when you introduce a Cisco 5500 with
> Spanning tree algorithm? Is it better to configure using Spanning tree to
> dictate the failover time of the card(S)?
