Virtual File Share advanced configuration
You can customize the operation of the Virtual File Share monitor by using the
Advanced options provided on the Add Virtual File Share window. When you click
Advanced, 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 Virtual File Share monitor.
Timeout and Failure Severity: This setting works with the Virtual CIFS Server policy
(either AUTOFAILBACK or NOFAILBACK) to determine what happens when the
monitor’s probe fails.
The default policies (NOFAILBACK for the virtual host and AUTORECOVER for the
monitor) cause the ClusterPulse process to fail over the Virtual CIFS Server to a backup
node. The Virtual CIFS Server remains on the backup node until a “healthier” node
becomes available, at which point the Virtual CIFS Server will fail over to that node.
You can use the Timeout and Failure Severity attribute to change the failover/failback
