HP StorageWorks P9000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (TB534-96009, February 2011)

TIP: To change the properties in “Service or application properties and values” (page 30) with
the CLI, use the following command: cluster group groupname /prop
propertyname="propertyvalue".
Table 2 Service or application properties and values
ValueDescriptionFormatProperty
GUI: Prevent
failback
CLI: 0
(required)
Prevents automatic fail back of a service or application
to its primary system. Transfer the service or
application back manually after the failure has been
recovered. This allows for recovery of all possible
failure sources and pair resynchronization (if
necessary) while the application service is still running.
IntegerGUI: Failback (Prevent
failback or Allow failback)
CLI: AutoFailbackType
6 (Default)Determines the time (in hours) over which the cluster
service attempts to fail over a service or application.
See “Timing considerations for MSCS” (page 50) for
more information.
StringGUI: Period
CLI: FailoverPeriod
Windows Server
2008/2008 R2:
Number of nodes in
the cluster minus 1.
Windows Server
2003, CLI: 10
(Default)
Determines the number of failover attempts. The default
value allows the cluster service to transfer the service
or application to each system once in case of
subsequent system failure. Due to the nature of this
parameter, it is possible that the service or application
automatically restarts on a system several times if all
cluster systems are not members of the cluster at that
time.
If this value is set to a number higher than the current
number of clustered systems for the cluster group, the
service or application will continue to restart until
either the FailoverThreshold value or the FailoverPeriod
timeout value is reached.
IntegerGUI: Maximum failures in
the specified period
(Windows Server
2008/2008 R2),
Threshold (Windows
Server 2003)
CLI: FailoverThreshold
