IP Resource Quickchk and Deepchk Behavior

The health check scripts for an IP resource behave as follows.

quickchk

1. Verify that the adapter’s media is connected. If the cable is found to be disconnected for 10 seconds then exit with failure.
2. Verify that the protected IP address is configured on the correct NIC. If not, exit with failure.
3. If PingList exists, verify that at least one remote IP in the list responds to ping. If no remote IP’s can be pinged, exit with failure.

deepchk

Calls quickchk and returns a failure if that script fails.

Checks each equivalent system – verifies that the system’s NIC that will host the switchable IP address has its media connected. If not, log an error on the current ISP system warning that the cable is disconnected.
