mscsResGroupFailoverPeriod

Module: INFORMANT-MSCS

OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResGroupFailoverPeriod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.9.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The FailoverPeriod property specifies a number of hours during which a maximum number of failover attempts, specified by FailoverThreshold, can occur.

If the Cluster service exceeds the number of failover attempts specified by FailoverThreshold within the time interval specified by FailoverPeriod, it stops trying to fail over the group.

For example, if FailoverThreshold is set to 2 and FailoverPeriod is set to 1, then a node can tolerate two failover attempts of the group within any 1-hour interval. More than three failover attempts can occur, as long as they occur over an interval that is greater than 1 hour.

FailoverPeriod has a maximum value of 1193 hours. If a value for FailoverPeriod is not specified, the default value is 6 hours.

What is mscsResGroupFailoverPeriod?

This read-only value, in hours (up to 1193, default 6), defines the sliding time window within which the number of failover attempts is counted against mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold before the cluster gives up trying to fail the group over. An admin reads this together with the failover threshold to understand how aggressively the cluster will keep retrying a flapping group before it stops and leaves it offline.

Examples
