    Attributes	Description
    NetappClusterDeviceName	The NAS device name (host name) is specified. Delimit by ":" and specify two NAS device names. example: netapp1:netapp2
    NetappClusterPingCount	The execution frequency of the ping command is specified. Default: 10 (1 - 60)

    NetappClusterPingInterval	The execution interval of the ping command is specified. Default: 5s (1s - 300s)

    
    The NAS device is monitored by the ping command.
    In this step, it is possible to set the execution frequency, the time-out time, and the execution interval of the ping command executed in fixed-cycle monitoring. It is recommended these parameters are used like default.

    
    Refer to "Appendix B Turning of the control facirity for the NAS-Cluster" for the parameter of the ping command.
