   You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC.

2. Add the heartbeat plug-in to an existing heartbeat.

   # geohb add-plugin heartbeatname pluginname \ [-p propertysetting [-p…]]

   heartbeatname

   Specifies the identifier for heartbeat on the local cluster.

   pluginname

   Specifies the name of the heartbeat plug-in.

   -ppropertysetting

   For more information about the properties you can set, see Appendix A, Standard Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Properties.
