Chapter 17: Configure Service Monitors 227
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 the service 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 the failback can occur.
For more information on the interaction between the Timeout and Failure
Severity attribute and the virtual host failback policy, see “Virtual Hosts
and Failover” on page 212.
To set the Timeout and Failure Severity attribute from the command line,
use the following option. (Note that this option is case-sensitive.)
--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover
Service Priority
The service priority is used by Matrix Server when it fails over services.
Service priorities are natural numbers, with 0 (zero) representing the
highest priority and higher numbers representing lower priorities. If
multiple failures prevent Matrix Server from placing a virtual host on a
server where all of its associated services are available, Matrix Server next
looks for a server where the associated service with the highest priority is
available. By default, all service monitors have a priority of 0.
To set the Service Priority from the command line, use this option:
--priority <priority>
