Chapter 17: Configure Device Monitors 221
2. ClusterPulse waits for all Stop scripts to complete.
3. The Start script is run on the server where the virtual host or shared
device is becoming active.
PARALLEL. The strict ordering sequence for Stop and Start scripts is not
enforced. The scripts run in parallel across the cluster as a shared device
or virtual host is in transition.
The
PARALLEL configuration can speed up failover time for services and
devices that do not depend on strict ordering of Start and Stop scripts.
Assuming that it is safe to run the scripts in parallel (which depends on
your application), this setting can also increase the chances of a successful
failover because ClusterPulse does not have to wait for the failing node to
finish running its Stop script.
To configure script ordering from the command line, use this option:
--ordering serial|parallel
Virtual Hosts
The Virtual Hosts tab lets you specify the virtual hosts that will fail over if
the monitor detects a failure.
