Sample IP Failover
As the clearest method of explaining the IP failover procedure, the following sample is a
walkthrough of a failover performed during a client ping. Hopefully, this example will shed light
on the relationship between the
HASERVER.INI
parameters and the operation of the cluster.
The following example describes a series of files that explain how to implement IP failover
between the two servers in the cluster. The script files that follow should be used as a reference
when creating your own custom IP failover script files.
