Hi Jurijs,

CMIIW, ICM can only run on persistent hostname. If you set virtual host as
primary/secondary for ICM, it can start up and then suddently will go down.
In my case, when the server fail over to secondary, the ICM node name will
also changed to secondary node name. No issue on this one.

Cheers.

Hananto.

Hananto,

Just to confirm that you are saying

That means that you can't set virtual node as primary/secondary for ICM?
How you would let ICM to run on virtual host then, or it isn't possible ?
