It appears that when I try to make any network connection to a host that is either powered down or non existent it takes nearly 3.5 minutes for a timeout to occur. I'm transitioning from Linux where I'm used to a host sending 3 ARP broadcasts and then generating an ICMP host unreachable message and moving on.
We're seeing this in a high-availability cluster where a node is being powered off and it's taking down most of the cluster with it because it's fatally interrupting inter-cluster communication with this 3.5 minute timeout rather than acknowledging a host is down. Is there a way to get comparable behavior on Solaris? Would you recommend a different approach altogether? So far the closest thing we can find is ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_cinterval 1000 This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
