Attributes for Solaris

Required attributes for Solaris

Required attribute

Description

Device 

Name of the NIC that you want to monitor. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: bge0 

Example: "le0" 

 

Optional attributes for Solaris

Optional attribute

Description

NetworkHosts 

List of hosts on the network that are pinged to determine if the network connection is alive. Enter the IP address of the host, instead of the host name, to prevent the monitor from timing out. DNS causes the ping to hang. If more than one network host is listed, the monitor returns ONLINE if at least one of the hosts is alive.  

If you do not specify network hosts, the monitor tests the NIC by sending pings to the broadcast address on the NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-vector 

Example: 166.96.15.22 , 166.97.1.2 

Example: "166.96.15.22", "166.97.1.2" 

 

NetworkType 

Type of network. VCS supports only Ethernet. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: ether 

Default: "ether" 

 

PingOptimize 

Number of monitor cycles to detect if a configured interface is inactive. Use PingOptimize when you have not specified the NetworkHosts attribute. 

A value of 1 optimizes broadcast pings and requires two monitor cycles. 

A value of 0 performs a broadcast ping during each monitor cycle and detects the inactive interface within the cycle. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

Default: 1
