4.0.0 HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server Administration Guide (T5392-96056, March 2010)

Advanced options for monitors
The following information applies to the service monitors that are created with Virtual SQL instances,
the Virtual MSDTC Service, and Virtual SSAS instances.
NOTE:
In this section, “virtual host” refers to the Virtual SQL Server, Virtual MSDTC, or Virtual SSAS Server
associated with the monitor you are configuring.
The monitors can be customized for your environment by setting the Advanced options. When you
click Advanced on the dialog used to virtualize SQL instances, the MSDTC service, or SSAS instances,
you will see two tabs: Policy and Scripts.
Policy
The Policy tab lets you specify the failover policy and service priority that will apply to the monitor.
Timeout and Failure Severity: This setting works with the virtual host policy (either AUTOFAILBACK or
NOFAILBACK) to determine what happens when the monitor probe fails.
