Failover
e. Set the timezone.The time zone setting is useful when examining logs. Enter:
eqcli > timezone ?
Locate your timezone in the displayed list and press "q" to quit out of the
list. Then, type in your timezone number and press <
Enter
>, as in this
example for the "America/New York" time zone:
eqcli >
timezone 161
f. If the load balancer can reach the Internet, add a name server so that NTP will
work and time will be the same across all load balancers:
eqcli > name-server IP_address
Otherwise, set the time manually on all systems to the current time:
eqcli >
date HHmmss
In the above command,
HH
is hours, mm is minutes, and
ss
is seconds.
Seconds are optional.
g. Enable NTP. If you've defined at least one DNS server, you can configure the
Network Time Protocol (NTP).by entering
eqcli > ntp enable
h. Change the name of the local peer so it’s easier to recognize, as in this example
for Equalizer
Eq-A
:
eqcli >
peer e<TAB> name Eq-A
Note that the <
TAB
> above means press the Tab key on your keyboard to
auto-complete the local peer name. Since this unit currently has only one
peer definition it fills it out with the local peer name.
