NOFAILOVER. When the monitor probe fails, ClusterPulse does not fail

over to a backup network interface. This option is useful when the

monitored resource is not critical, but is important enough that you want

to keep a record of its health.

AUTORECOVER. This is the default. The virtual host fails over when a

monitor probe fails. When device access is recovered on the original

node, failback occurs according to the virtual host’s failback policy.

NOAUTORECOVER. The virtual host fails over when a monitor probe

fails and the monitor is disabled on the original node, preventing

automatic failback. When the monitor is reenabled, failback occurs

according to the virtual host’s failback policy.

The

NOAUTORECOVER option is useful when integrating Matrix Server

with a custom application where certain application-specific actions must

be taken before failback can occur.

For more information on the interaction between the Probe Severity

attribute and the virtual host failback policy, see “Virtual Hosts and

Failover” on page 215.

To set the Probe Severity from the command line, use this option:

--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover
