mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold

Module: INFORMANT-MSCS

OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.9.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: The FailoverThreshold property specifies the maximum number of failover attempts that can be made on a group within a time interval defined by FailoverPeriod.

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 RestartPeriod is set to 1, a node can tolerate 2 failover attempts of the group within any 1-hour interval. More than 3 failover attempts can occur, as long as they occur over an interval that is greater than 1 hour.

If a value for FailoverThreshold is not specified, the default value is 10.

What is mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold?

This read-only value (default 10) specifies the maximum number of failover attempts allowed for a group within the time window set by mscsResGroupFailoverPeriod before the cluster stops trying. An admin uses this together with the failover period to judge whether a group that keeps failing has hit its retry limit and needs manual intervention.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.9.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.9.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResGroupFailoverThreshold.1
