mscsResourceRestartThreshold

Module: INFORMANT-MSCS

OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResourceRestartThreshold

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.11.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: The RestartThreshold property specifies the maximum number of restart attempts that can be made on a resource within an interval defined by the RestartPeriod property before the Cluster service initiates the action specified by the RestartAction property.

When a resource does fails, the Cluster service attempts to restart the resource (unless the RestartAction property is set to ClusterResourceDontRestart).

The RestartPeriod and RestartThreshold properties work together to limit restart attempts. For example, if the RestartPeriod property is set to 200 milliseconds, and the RestartThreshold property is set to two retry attempts, then the Cluster service tolerates two restart failures within any 200 millisecond interval. More than two failures can occur, as long as they occur over an interval that is greater than 200 milliseconds. On the third restart failure within the 200 millisecond interval, the Cluster service considers the resource to have failed and may, depending on the RestartAction property, attempt to fail over the resource's group to another node.

What is mscsResourceRestartThreshold?

This read-only value specifies the maximum number of restart attempts allowed within the window defined by mscsResourceRestartPeriod before the Cluster service acts on mscsResourceRestartAction, such as failing the resource's group over to another node. An admin uses this together with the restart period to judge how tolerant the cluster is of a resource that keeps crashing and restarting.

Examples
