If all NICs configured in the Device attribute are down, the MultiNICA agent faults the resource after a two to three minute interval. This delay occurs because the MultiNICA agent tests the failed NIC several times before marking the resource offline. Messages recorded in the log during failover provide a detailed description of the events that take place.
The MultiNICA agent supports only one active NIC on one IP subnet; the agent does not work with multiple active NICs on the same subnet.
