Refer to the Microsoft clustering documentation for detailed information about
failover and failback policies of groups and resources.
The length of time in which the Microsoft clustering software
attempts to fail over a cluster group. When the failover threshold
count has been exceeded within the failover period, the Microsoft
clustering software leaves the group on its current node, in its
current state.
Example: If the failover threshold = 5 and the failover period = 1,
the Microsoft clustering software will attempt to fail over the
group 5 times within a 1-hour period.
Prevent automatic failback. This setting allows the administrator
to fail back a group manually.
Allow automatic failback. This setting allows the Microsoft
clustering software to fail back a group automatically.
This setting allows automatic failback as soon as the preferred
node is reintegrated into the cluster and brought back online.
This setting allows the administrator to determine specific hours
of the day during which automatic failback can occur.
