Explanation:
Debugging State Synchronization
To monitor the synchronization mechanism on ClusterXL or third-party OPSEC certified clustering products, run the following commands on a cluster member.
FW TAB -T CONNECTIONS - S
One quick test to verify if State Synchronization is working properly is by running the fw tab -t connections -s command from cluster members. If the #VALS numbers are very close between cluster members, cluster members are synchronizing properly.
Here is a sample output of fw tab -t connections -s:
HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
localhost connections 8158 4 22 4
If the #VALS numbers are very close between cluster members, it is safe to say State Synchronization is working properly.

The key line is "If the #VALS numbers are very close between cluster members, it is safe to say State
Synchronization is working properly."
