To enable clients to reconnect to a failed-over companion, you must add a line to the interfaces file. By default, clients connect to the port listed in the query line of the server entry. If that port is not available (because the server has failed-over), the client connects to the server listed in the hafailover line of the server entry. Here is a sample interfaces file for a primary companion named MONEY1 and a secondary companion named PERSONNEL1:
MONEY1 master tcp ether FN1 4100 query tcp ether FN1 4100 hafailover PERSONNEL1
Use dsedit to add entries to the interfaces file. If the interfaces entries already exist, you modify them as necessary to work for fail over.
See the Utility Guide for information about dsedit.
