Failover Cluster Settings This section contains failover cluster settings. Show details Cluster Security Cluster Version Maximum Number of Nodes Shared Volumes Enabled Shared Volumes Root Quorum Type Quorum Log Size Quorum Path Quorum Resource Name Voting Nodes Dynamic Quorum Enabled Cluster Log Level and Size A failover cluster is a group of independent computers that work together to increase the availability of applications and services. If one of the clustered servers (nodes) fails, another node begins to provide the service (a process known as failover). Users experience a minimum of disruption to the service.

Show details Name Description Role Type Owner Node Preferred Owners Auto Fail-Back Mode FailBack Period FailBack Threshold Persistent State Anti Affinity Class Names Roles (also known as resource groups) are a collection of one or more resources that are managed and monitored as a single unit. A role can be started, stopped and failed over between cluster nodes independently of roles.

Show details Name Type Description Owner Node Core Resource Dependencies Note: additional specific properties displayed are dependant on the type of Resource. For example, an IP Address Resource will display the Address, Subnet, EnableNetBIOS and other IP Address specific settings.
