Re: heartbeat restarts the server

Thank you so very much for the response Terry, I have added the settings to
the modprobe.conf file and restarted the servers now. The debug log is
working fine, so will try to figure out whats going on with the primary
director.

If I still cannot figure out whats happening to the server, I will post the
log files here for help.

Thank you so very much for your suggestion.

Imran.
