Master Watchdog Master Watchdog specifies the amount of time between transmits for the master node in the cluster. For example, if you set this value to one, the master node in the cluster will transmit an "I'm alive" signal to all the other nodes in the cluster every second. Slave Watchdog Slave Watchdog specifies the amount of time the master node has to signal that it is alive. For example, setting this value to five means that if the non-master nodes in the cluster do not receive an "I'm alive" signal from the master within 5 seconds, the master node will be removed from the cluster and one of the other nodes will become the master node.

Cluster Port Properties The default cluster port number is 7023, and is automatically assigned when the cluster is created. The cluster port number does not need to be changed unless there is a conflict created by another resource using the same port number. If there is a port number conflict, change the Port number to any other value that doesn't cause a conflict. To view or edit the Cluster Port property, in ConsoleOne, right click the cluster object and select Properties. This will bring up the Cluster Object property page. Select the Port tab. Cluster Node Properties You can use the Cluster Node property page to view or edit the cluster node number or IP address of the selected node or view the context for the NetWare Server object. To view or edit Cluster Node properties, in ConsoleOne, select the Cluster object, right click the desired cluster node on the right side of the ConsoleOne display screen, and select Properties. This will bring up the Cluster Node property page. Select the Node tab. Chapter 2: Installation and Setup 23

Master Watchdog
Master Watchdog specifies the amount of time between transmits for the
master node in the cluster. For example, if you set this value to one, the master
node in the cluster will transmit an "I’m alive" signal to all the other nodes in
the cluster every second.
Slave Watchdog
Slave Watchdog specifies the amount of time the master node has to signal that
it is alive. For example, setting this value to five means that if the non-master
nodes in the cluster do not receive an "I’m alive" signal from the master within
5 seconds, the master node will be removed from the cluster and one of the
other nodes will become the master node.
