Chapter 3: mx Commands 114

The arguments are:

[--timeout <seconds>]

The maximum amount of time to wait for a probe of the Virtual File Share to

complete. The default is five seconds.

[--frequency <seconds>]

The interval of time, in seconds, at which the monitor probes the Virtual File

Share. The default setting is 10 seconds.

[--comments <comment>]

A description of the Virtual File Share.

[--users_limit ALL_USERS|<limit>]

The number of users that will be allowed to access the Virtual File Share

simultaneously. The maximum value is the system maximum, which is

limited by the available memory.

[--share_subdirs]

Share all subdirectories under the specified path.

[--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover]

This setting works in combination with the Virtual CIFS Server’s failback

policy to determine what happens when the monitor probe fails. In general,

nofailover prevents failover of the Virtual CIFS Server when the probe fails.

autorecover fails over the Virtual CIFS Server and, when the service is

restored, fails the Virtual CIFS Server back to the original network interface.

noautorecover fails over the Virtual CIFS Server but does not fail it back after

the service is restored. autorecover is the default. For more information, see

the MxFS for CIFS Administration Guide.

[--priority <priority>]

Used when ClusterPulse fails over Virtual CIFS Servers. Service priorities are

natural numbers, with 0 (zero) representing the highest priority and higher

numbers representing lower priorities. If multiple failures prevent

ClusterPulse from placing a Virtual CIFS Server on a node where all of its

associated services are available, ClusterPulse next looks for a node where the

associated service with the highest priority is available. The default priority is
