[--startTimeout <seconds>]

The amount of time to wait for the Start script to complete.

[--stopTimeout <seconds>]

failure or timeout of a Start or Stop script) into consideration when it makes

failover decisions. The default is consider.

[--probetype single|multiple]

Whether the monitor probe occurs on only one server or on all of the

configured servers.

[--activitytype single|always|multiple]

Whether the device monitor can be active on only one server or on all of the

configured servers. With single, the monitor is active on only one of the

selected servers. Upon server failure, the monitor will fail over to an active

server unless all associated service and device monitors are down.

With always, the monitor is active on only one of the selected servers. Upon

server failure, the monitor will fail over to an active server even if all

associated service and device monitors are down.

With multiple, the monitor is active simultaneously on all selected servers.

[--vhosts <vhost1>,<vhost2>,...]

The virtual hosts associated with the device monitor. These virtual hosts

will fail over to another network interface when the monitored device fails.

The default is all virtual hosts on the server(s) configured for the monitored

device.
