54 Understanding Your Failover Cluster
You can configure failback to occur immediately, at any given time, or not at
all. To minimize the delay until the resources come back online, configure the
failback time during off-peak hours.
Modifying Your Failover Policy
Use the following guidelines when you modify your failover policy:
• Define how MSCS detects and responds to group resource failures.
• Establish dependency relationships between the resources to control the
order in which the resources are taken offline.
• Specify time-out, failover threshold, and failover period for your cluster
resources.
See "Setting Advanced Resource Properties" for more information.
• Specify a Possible Owner List in Microsoft Cluster Administrator for
cluster resources. The Possible Owner List for a resource controls which
nodes are allowed to host the resource.
See the Cluster Administrator documentation for more information.
