Chapter 12: Configure Service Monitors 172

PARALLEL. Matrix Server does not enforce the strict ordering sequence

for Stop and Start scripts. The scripts run in parallel across the matrix as a

virtual host is in transition.

The PARALLEL configuration can speed up failover time for services 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 Matrix Server does not have to wait for the failing server

to finish running its Stop script.

To configure script ordering from the command line, use this option:

--ordering serial|parallel
