Adding entries for both Adaptive Servers to the interfaces file  Creating a new default device other than master

Chapter 14: Configuring Adaptive Server for Failover on SGI IRIX

Adding entries to interfaces file for client connections during failover

To enable clients to reconnect to the 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 that 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 MONEY1 56000
	query tcp ether MONEY1 56000
	hafailover PERSONNEL1

Use dsedit to add entries to the interfaces file. If the interfaces entries already exist, modify them to work for failover.

See the Utility Guide for information about dsedit.
