Configuring Network Connections
You must create an IP address alias for Health Monitoring. Health Monitoring tells
each primary appliance (server) about the other appliance’s condition and when
to assume a secondary function because its failover pair is offline.
You can use the same NIC (network) port chosen during setup. See “Changing
NIC Settings” on page 18. But you must create and use a separate IP address for
Health Monitoring.
To configure the network for failover:
