   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 heartbeat-name plug-in-name \ [-p property-setting [-p...]]

   heartbeat-name

   Specifies the identifier for an heartbeat on the local cluster.

   plugin-name

   Specifies the name of the heartbeat plug-in.

   -pproperty-setting
