Tuning the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway Fault Monitor

Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway provides software for fault monitoring by checking the status of the Alliance Gateway service. The values “started” and “partial” are considered healthy. Values other than these force a restart or failover to another node in the cluster. By accepting a “partial” status, operators can temporarily disable portions of the service without informing the cluster. You do not need a user ID and password for monitoring.
