behavior. There are three settings: NOFAILOVER, AUTORECOVER, and
NOAUTORECOVER.
NOFAILOVER. When the monitor probe fails, the Virtual CIFS Server does not fail
over to a backup node. 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. To use
this option, you must also specify IGNORE as the Event Severity on the Scripts tab.
AUTORECOVER. When the monitor probe fails, the ClusterPulse process automatically
fails over the associated Virtual CIFS Server to a backup node. Failback occurs in
accordance with the policy setting for the Virtual CIFS Server (either AUTOFAILBACK
or NOFAILBACK). See Create a Virtual CIFS Server, page 21, for a description of
these settings.
NOTE:
If you choose to use AUTORECOVER, you should be aware that fail over or fail back
disrupts connectivity. Reconnection should be automatic, but data from in-flight
updates may be lost.
NOAUTORECOVER. When the monitor probe fails, the ClusterPulse process
automatically fails over the associated Virtual CIFS Server to a backup node. The
monitor is then disabled on the original node. You will need to manually reenable
the monitor before failback can occur to the original node. This option is useful when
integrating HP PolyServe Software with a custom application, where certain
application-specific actions must be taken before the failback can occur.
Service Priority: The service priority is used when ClusterPulse fails over Virtual CIFS
Servers. Service priorities are natural numbers, with 0 (zero) representing the highest
priority and higher numbers representing lower priorities. If multiple failures prevent
ClusterPulse from placing a Virtual CIFS Server on a node where all of its associated
services are available, ClusterPulse next looks for a node where the associated service
with the highest priority is available. The default priority is 0.
Scripts
The Scripts tab lets you customize a Virtual File Share monitor with Start, Stop, and
Recovery scripts. You can also configure the event severity and script ordering for
the monitor.
