set
Set the fields of the executor.
  • clientgateway IPv4 address

    Clientgateway is an IPv4 address that is used for routing. It is the router address through which traffic in the return direction is forwarded from Load Balancer to clients for IPv4 traffic. Clientgateway must be set to a nonzero value.

  • clientgateway6 IPv6 address

    Clientgateway6 is an IPv6 address that is used for routing. It is the router address through which traffic in the return direction is forwarded from Load Balancer to clients for IPv6 traffic. Clientgateway6 must be set to a nonzero value.

  • hatimeout seconds

    The number of seconds that the executor uses to timeout high availability heartbeats. The default value is 2.

  • nfa IP address

    Set the non-forwarding address. Any packet sent to this address will not be forwarded by the Dispatcher machine.

    The Internet Protocol address as either a symbolic name or in dotted decimal format.

start
Start the executor.
status
Display the current status of the values in the executor that can be set and their defaults.
stop
Stop the executor.
configure
Configure a cluster address. This command advertises the address for routing purposes. On AIX, the address is aliased to the network interface card. If servers are defined for NAT forwarding, the return address that is used for the server is also configured when the cluster is configured.
Note: The cluster address is required, but the interface and netmask configurations are optional.
unconfigure
This command marks the cluster address as unconfigured. On AIX, the address is removed from the network interface card. If servers are defined for NAT forwarding, the return address that is used for the server is also unconfigured when the cluster is unconfigured.

  • To start the executor:
    dscontrol executor start
  • To stop the executor:
    dscontrol executor stop
