The default policies (
AUTOFAILBACK for the virtual host and
AUTORECOVERY for the device monitor) cause ClusterPulse to fail over
the associated virtual hosts to a backup network interface on another
server when the monitor probe fails. When the device is restored,
ClusterPulse fails back the virtual hosts to the network interface on the
original server.
You can use the Probe Severity attribute to change this behavior. There
are three settings for Probe Severity:
NOFAILOVER, AUTORECOVER, and
NOAUTORECOVER.
NOFAILOVER. When the monitor probe fails, ClusterPulse does not fail
over to a backup network interface. This option is useful when the
