The configuration required for the GSLB distributed health check feature depends on whether the
GSLB ServerIron ADX and the site ServerIron ADX support the distributed health check feature or
not. Refer to the table below for more information on the configuration available and mandated by
the GSLB distributed health check feature.
Disabling the distributed health check feature for an individual site ServerIron ADX
If a site ServerIron ADX does not support the distributed health check feature, and if the GSLB
ServerIron ADX supports the distributed health check feature, then distributed health check
feature should be disabled for that site ServerIron ADX as it does not support distributed health
checking i.e. the GSLB ServerIron ADX still needs to maintain health checks for the host servers
being load balanced by that site ServerIron ADX.
To disable distributed health check feature for an individual site ServerIron ADX, enter commands
such as the following on the GSLB ServerIron ADX, not on the site ServerIron ADX.
GSLB-ServerIronADX(config)# gslb site sunnyvale

GSLB-ServerIronADX(config-gslb-site-sunnyvale)# si-name 1.1.1.107
no-si-dist-health-check
Syntax: [no] si-name [] no-si-dist-health-check
NOTE
The si-name command also has an optional parameter that specifies the ServerIron ADX’s
preference. This parameter is not related to the distributed health check feature.
