NAME

gabport - Utility to configure and display information about Group and Atomic Broadcast (GAB) ports

SYNOPSIS

gabport -p port [-h timeout ]

DESCRIPTION

The gabport utility displays GAB port information or changes the heartbeat timeout value of a user client process on a GAB port. In normal operation, a GAB client process should heartbeat to GAB at a certain interval. GAB uses this mechanism to monitor the aliveness of a GAB user client process. If a client process does not heartbeat in the predefined timeout period, GAB kills the client. As a result, the port is closed.

OPTIONS

-p port

The port to query or change the timeout value. port is specified as GAB port names a-z.

-h timeout

Specify a heartbeat timeout value(in milliseconds) for a client process. The heartbeat statistics are reset by this command.

-d

Display port membership. If the port is used by a user client, it also displays the client process heartbeat statistics.

EXAMPLES

1) Display information about a port used by a user client

# gabport -p h

Port h Information:
========================================================

heartbeat timeout:           15000 (msec)
heartbeat warn interval:      1000 (msec)
heartbeat statistics:
     0 ~   3000 (msec): 4177
  3000 ~   6000 (msec): 0
  6000 ~   9000 (msec): 0
  9000 ~  12000 (msec): 0
 12000 ~  15000 (msec): 0

2) Change the client process timeout value to 16 seconds

# gabport -p h -h 16000
