B.2 Creating an Auto-Failover Policy

By default, no auto-failover policy exists for BCC. You must create an auto-failover policy for each cluster in your BCC where you want auto-failover enabled. This is required to automatically fail over resources from one cluster to another.

  1. In iManager, under Cluster Membership Monitoring Settings, select a cluster and click the Edit link.

  2. Under Membership Threshold, select the Enable check box, select either Percent Fail or Nodes Fail, and specify either the percentage of failed nodes or the number of failed nodes.

    The node failure number or percentage you specify must be met for the selected cluster before resources automatically fail over to another cluster.

  3. Under Communication Timeout, select the Enable check box and specify the number of minutes that must elapse without any communication between clusters before resources automatically fail over to another cluster.

  4. Click OK to finish editing the policy.

  5. Click the Apply button to save your settings.
