RIX FailSafe monitors the health of the nodes. In the event of a node failure, it migrates the resource groups to the surviving node. Sybase recommends that you read the IRIX FailSafe Administrator’s Guide for more information about configuring and monitoring FailSafe. See at http://techpubs.sgi.com for information about the frequency of the health checks. The more you check the health of the nodes, the narrower the window between failure and restart. This must be balanced between false alerts and resource consumption.
