VCS 6.1 – How to configure and display information about Group and Atomic Broadcast (GAB) ports

The gabport utility displays GAB port information or changes the heartbeat timeout value of a user client process on a GAB port. In normal operation, a GAB client process should heartbeat to GAB at a certain interval. GAB uses this mechanism to monitor the aliveness of a GAB user client process. If a client process does not heartbeat in the predefined timeout period, GAB kills the client. As a result, the port is closed.

1) Display information about a port used by a user client

2) Change the client process timeout value to 16 seconds
