The hadsconfig(1M) command prefixes the package name to the value you supply here. For example, if you specify "netbackup," the hadsconfig(1M) command produces "SUNWscnb_netbackup."

The interval, in seconds, that the probe waits between checks of the service. The default value is 60 seconds. 

Number of retries 

The number of attempts that will be made to restart a failed NetBackup instance on the local node before resorting to other actions, such as failover or switchover. The default value is 3. 

Takeover flag

Such a takeover or failover occurs only after efforts to revive the service on the local node have failed. Possible values are y or n. The default value is y.
