Description
Discard

queue
Flush
Target
If you have data in the target queue, you can discard that data.
If you discard the queued data, you will lose the changes
associated with that data made on the previously owning node.
A Storage Mirroring Recover connection will be established to
replicate the node’s data (without the data that was in queue) to
the other nodes.
Force

Offline
Fail
Resource
If you are using Windows 2003, you can force the resource
offline. If you are using Windows 2008, you can fail the
resource. In either case, no Storage Mirroring
Recoverconnection will be established.
Verify
Group
Test Data
With this option and snapshot capability, you can test the data
on the node before deciding whether to use it. If you select this
option, a snapshot of the node’s current Storage Mirroring
Recover data will be taken, but the GeoCluster Replicated Disk
resource does not come online, allowing you to check the data.
(This means there is no Storage Mirroring Recover connection
established at this time.) Once the snapshot is taken, you can
test the data on the node to see if it is viable. Once you have
tested the data, you need to right-click on the online pending
resource again and accept or reject the data.
Accept
Data
Accept
If you accept the data, the current data on the node will be
used, and a Storage Mirroring Recover connection will be
established to replicate the current node’s data to the other
nodes. If any other nodes in the cluster contain more recent
data, this node will overwrite that data and it will be lost.
Reject
Data
Reject
If you reject the data, the node will be reverted to the snapshot
that was taken when you selected the Verify Group or Test
Data option. Any changes made on the node after that
snapshot was created will be lost. This option essentially takes
you back to where you were, allowing you the opportunity to
check other nodes for more recent data.
GeoCluster Replicated Disk Status Resource
The function of the GeoCluster Replicated Disk Status resource (also displayed as GRD
Status) varies between Windows 2003 and Windows 2008. In both operating systems, it
