--ordering serial|parallel

Virtual Hosts

The Virtual Hosts tab lets you specify any virtual hosts that you want to

fail over if the device fails. (By default, no virtual hosts will fail over.) If

you want all virtual hosts to be dependent on the device monitor and to

fail over if the device fails, check “Select All Virtual Hosts.”

When a device monitor detects a failure, Matrix Server attempts to fail

over the active virtual hosts associated with that device monitor. By

default, all virtual hosts on the servers used with the device monitor are

dependent on the device monitor. However, you can specify that only

certain virtual hosts be dependent on the device monitor.

For example, you might have a DISK monitor for a disk containing Web

and FTP files. If the disk fails, you want Matrix Server to fail over the

virtual hosts for these services. The server might also provide mail

service; however, the virtual host for this service is not dependent on the

disk and should not fail over if the disk fails.
