Virtual Host: Type a hostname or an IP address for the virtual host.
Application name: An “ application” provides a way to group virtual hosts and related
service and device monitors on the Applications tab. All of the HP Scalable NAS
resources associated with the application can then be treated as a unit. You can
specify a new application name, select an existing application name, or leave this
field blank. However, if you do not assign a name, HP Scalable NAS will use the IP
address for the virtual host as the application name.
Always active: If you check this box, upon server failure, the virtual host will move
to an active server even if all associated service and device monitors are inactive or
down. If the box is not checked, failover will not occur when all associated service
and device monitors are inactive or down and the virtual host will not be made active
anywhere. (See Virtual host activeness policy, page 309 for details.)
Policy: The policy determines the failback action that the virtual host will take following
a failover to a backup server.
As part of configuring a virtual host, you will need to select network interfaces located
on the servers that can be used for the virtual host. The interfaces are placed in order:
primary, backup #1, backup #2, and so on. The ClusterPulse process considers the
“health” of the servers providing those interfaces when determining where to place
