Defined Primary Used to disable mirror failover, generally for maintanance purposes. Manipulated via the nofailover option when shutting down InterSystems IRIS or the ^MIRROR routine. This contains the mirror name of the member which must be the primary. It is cleared automatically when that node starts up and becomes the primary.
QOSTimeout Quality of Service Timeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, that a failover member waits for a response from the other failover member before taking action; also applies to the arbiter’s wait for a failover member’s response. The default is 8000ms; typically, deployments on physical (non-virtualized) hosts with a dedicated local network can reduce this setting if a faster response to outages is required. See Configuring the Quality of Service (QoS) Timeout Setting in the “Mirroring” chapter of the High Availability Guide for more information on the QoS Timeout setting.
UseSSL To provide security within a mirror, you can configure its nodes to use SSL/TLS. This provides for both authentication of one node to another, and for encrypted communication between nodes. To use SSL/TLS with a mirror, each member (failover or async) uses a pair of SSL/TLS configurations, %Mirror_Client and %Mirror_Server. These configurations must already exist on each member when SSL/TLS is enabled for the mirror. Instructions for setting up SSL are in the section Creating and Editing SSL/TLS Configurations for a Mirror of the “Using SSL/TLS with InterSystems IRIS” chapter of the Security Administration Guide. Values are 0 (no, default) or 1 (yes).
VirtualAddress Specifies a virtual IP address. You can configure a mirror virtual IP address (VIP) so that all external clients (language bindings, ODBC/JDBC/SQL clients, and so on) connect to the mirror through a single address. This virtual IP address is automatically bound to an interface on the current primary member. To use a VIP, which requires that both failover members be on the same subnet. For more information, see the Configuring a Mirror Virtual IP (VIP) section of the chapter “Mirroring” in the High Availability Guide.
ArbiterNode The network address of the arbiter configured for this mirror. The arbiter is an independent system hosting an ISCAgent with which the failover members of a mirror maintain continuous contact, providing them with the context needed to safely make failover decisions when they cannot communicate directly. .
ArbiterPort The port used by the configured arbiter’s ISCAgent process (2188 by default).
FailoverCompressionMode Determines whether journal data is compressed before being transmitted from the primary to the backup. Values are 0 (System Selected, which optimizes for response time between failover members), 1 (Uncompressed) and 2 (Compressed).
AsyncCompressionMode Determines whether journal data is compressed before being transmitted from the primary to async members. Values are 0 (System Selected, which optimizes for network utilization), 1 (Uncompressed) and 2 (Compressed).
