[Linux-cluster] Configuring failover time with Red Hat Cluster

[Parvez Shaikh]

Hi all,

I was trying to find out how much time does it take for RHCS to detect
failure and recover from it. I found the link -
http://www.redhat.com/whitepapers/rha/RHA_ClusterSuiteWPPDF.pdf

It says that network polling interval is 2 seconds and 6 retries are
attempted before declaring a node as failed. I want to know can we tune this
or configure it, say instead of 6 retries I want only 3 retries. Also
reducing network polling time from 2 seconds to say 1 second (can it be less
than 1 second, which I think would consume more CPU)?

Also I have a script resource and I see it invoked with status argument
after every 30 seconds, can we configure that as well?

Failover also involve fencing, any pointers on how can we control /
configure fencing time would also be useful,I use bladecenter fencing, IPMI
fencing as well as UCS fencing.

Thanks,
Parvez
