3.4.0 Matrix Server Command Reference

Chapter 2: mx Commands 71

[--probetype single|multiple]

This argument applies only to CUSTOM monitors.

[--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover]

The failover behavior for the service monitor. nofailover prevents failover

of the virtual host when the monitored service fails. autorecover fails over

the virtual host and, when the service is restored, fails the virtual host back

to the original network interface. noautorecover fails over the virtual host

but does not fail it back after the service is restored. autorecover is the

default. These settings work in combination with the virtual host’s failback

policy.

Note that this command is case-sensitive.

[--parameters <parameters>]

The parameters are as follows:

•

HTTP or HTTPS monitor. The parameter is the URL for the service.

• DNS monitor. The parameter is the address to be resolved.

•

NTSERVICE monitor. The parameter specifies whether services

dependent on the monitored NT service should also be started when the

NT service is started (specify either Yes or No). If you want the services

to be started, you can also specify the number of attempts that should be

made. Use a semicolon to separate the values (for example, Yes;3)

•

CUSTOM monitor. The parameter is a probe script.

[--ordering SERIAL|PARALLEL]

Whether PolyServe Matrix Server enforces a strict ordering sequence when

it runs Start or Stop scripts. The default is serial, the strict ordering

sequence.

[--recoveryScript <script>]

Runs after a monitor probe failure is detected, in an attempt to restore the

service.

[--recoveryTimeout <seconds>]

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

[--startScript <script>]

When PolyServe Matrix Server selects the active server for a monitored

service, the Start script runs on that server.
