4.1.0 HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server administration guide (T5392-96074, October 2010)

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 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.
The default policies (NOFAILBACK for the virtual host and AUTORECOVER for the
monitor) cause the ClusterPulse process to fail over the virtual host to a backup node.
The virtual host remains on the backup node until a “healthier” node becomes
available, at which point the virtual host will fail over to that node.
You can use the Timeout and Failure Severity attribute to change the failover/failback
behavior. There are three settings: NOFAILOVER, AUTORECOVER, and
NOAUTORECOVER.
