Configuring failover monitoring

If you are configuring failover monitoring for a cluster workload,

use the same process for

a data workload

, except note the following changes.

l

If your source is a cluster, you must use the Custom option when identifying the
source machine and specify the virtual network name and virtual IP address on the
source cluster.

l

You must use a pre-failback and post-failover script. The pre-failback script must
contain the following case-sensitive command, substituting the name of the IP
 address resource assigned to the target virtual server.

Cluster resource “IP_Address_Resource_Name” /OFFLINE

l

The post-failback script must contain the following case-sensitive command,
substituting the name of the group on the target virtual server.

Cluster group “Group_Name” /ONLINE

l

If your target is a cluster, you need to repeat the steps to establish failover
monitoring on all nodes of the cluster, so that any node that could be the owning
node of the target cluster will be monitoring the source.
