P6000 Cluster Extension requirements for service or application properties are described in Table 2.
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 Table 2 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 fail back of a service or applic-
ation to its primary system. Transfer the service or
application back manually after the failure has
been recovered. This allows for 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 fail over a service or
application. See Timing considerations for MSCS
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. The
default value allows the cluster service to transfer
the service or application to each system once in
case of subsequent system failure. Due to the
nature of this parameter, it is possible that the
service or application automatically restarts on a
system several times if all cluster systems are not
members of the cluster at that time.
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.
IntegerGUI: Maximum failures
in the specified period
(Windows Server
2008/2008 R2),
Threshold (Windows
Server 2003)
CLI: FailoverThreshold
