Folks,
Hey again, Jay. I've got a question about a tcp stack failure on one of the clustered
740's, that happened over
the weekend.
Gary Andrade sez:
The box would respond to ping (inbound), but any outbound attempts failed. The outbound TCP stack was toast. Skip and I conferred on the situation and the box was rebooted (problem resolved).
Their failoer detection tests the ICMP code only??!? DUH! How stupid can you be? Geez, come one guys, write some real failover detection code. All the protocol stacks and layers need to be exercised.
