Basic Behaviors

Bringing a Resource in Service (restore)

When a Gen LB resource is brought in service via the LifeKeeper GUI client or LifeKeeper CLI, daemons are started which listen for a health check probe at a specified port. Once these processes are started successfully, the resource status changes to ISP (In-Service, Protected). The status of the Load Balancer Health Check resource will be set to OSF (Out of Service, Failed) when the processes cannot be started successfully. The same process is also performed during switching operations such as switchover and failover. Refer to Script Specifications for more information about this behavior.

Taking a Resource Out of Service (remove)

When a Gen LB resource is taken out of service via the LifeKeeper GUI client or LifeKeeper CLI, the daemons are stopped. Refer to Script Specifications for more information about this behavior.

Monitoring (quickCheck)

The Gen LB quickCheck script confirms that the appropriate daemons are running properly while the Load Balancer Health Check resource is in service (ISP). When the monitoring process detects that the daemon has not been started properly, a failover is performed. Refer to Script Specifications for more information about this behavior.

Recovery (recover)

There is no recovery process.
