HP 3PAR Cluster Extension requirements for service or application properties are described in
“Service or application properties and values” (page 24). If no specific value is required, the
default value is listed. Set these values in the Failover tab of the service or application properties
window (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2), the resource group properties window (Windows
Server 2003), or in the CLI. For more information about setting service or application properties,
see your Microsoft documentation.
TIP: To change the properties in “Service or application properties and values” (page 24) with
the CLI, use the following command: cluster group groupname /prop
propertyname="propertyvalue".
Table 2 Service or application properties and values
ValueDescriptionFormatProperty
GUI: Prevent
failback
CLI: 0
(required)
Prevents automatic failback of a service or application
to its primary system. Transfer the service or
application back manually after the failure has been
recovered. This allows recovery of all possible failure
sources and pair resynchronization (if necessary) while
the application service is still running.
IntegerGUI: Failback (Prevent
failback or Allow failback)
CLI: AutoFailbackType
6 (Default)Determines the time (in hours) over which the cluster
service attempts to failover a service or application.
See “Timing considerations for Windows Clustering”
(page 36) for more information.
StringGUI: Period
CLI: FailoverPeriod
Windows Server
2008/2008 R2:
Number of nodes in
the cluster minus 1.
Windows Server
2003, CLI: 10
(Default)
Determines the number of failover attempts. In case
of subsequent system failure, the default value allows
cluster service to transfer the service or application to
each system. If all cluster systems are not members of
the cluster, the service or application might restart
automatically.
If this value is set to a number higher than the current
number of clustered systems for the cluster group, the
service or application will continue to restart until
either the FailoverThreshold value or the FailoverPeriod
timeout value is reached.

the specified period
