Setting up team/LiveLink
Important
• When using
Smart Load Balancing and Failover (without Standby
Member ), be sure to setup LiveLink at creation of team.
When using Smart Load Balancing and Failover (with Standby Member ),
setup for LiveLink is not essential.
• When deleting the team, refer to Chapter 1 (5.4.3 Setting up team/LiveLink)
- (4) Procedure for deleting team. When replacing the motherboard or a
LAN board, follow these steps to remove the team and create it again after
replacement.
• Be sure to specify the same Jumbo Mtu (Jumbo Packet) setting to all the
adapters that compose a team.
• Using Server Core installations, Not supporting setting up team/LiveLink
by the BACS.
(1) Team types
The following team types are supported.
• Smart Load Balancing and Failover (without Standby Member)
All adapters that compose the team perform communication.
If a communication failure occurs on an adapter, other adapters that compose the team continue the
communication.
When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, it joins the team again and
resumes the communication.
• Smart Load Balancing (Auto-Failback Disable) (with Standby Member)
Among the adapters that compose the team, primary adapters except the standby member perform
communication.
If a communication failure occurs, the standby member continues the communication.
When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, it joints the team again and
the standby adapter returns to the standby state.
(2) LiveLink
LiveLink is a function that detects communication route failures of adapters.
It periodically investigates the communication status of specified destinations (IP address).
Link packets are sent from each adapter within a team.
If a response to the transmission of a link packet within the specified range is not detected, it is identified as a
communication route failure and adapter communication is stopped.
When a response to the submission of a link packet is detected, communication LiveLink identifies
communication as having been recovered, and communication using that adapter automatically resumes.
Note
You must set up LiveLink when you create a team.
