Discard Queue

Description

If you have data in the target queue, you can discard that data. If you
discard the queued data, you will lose the changes associated with that
data made on the previously owning node. A Storage Mirroring Recover
connection will be established to replicate the node’s data (without the
data that was in queue) to the other nodes.

are using Windows 2008, you can fail the resource. In either case, no
Storage Mirroring Recoverconnection will be established.

Description

With this option and snapshot capability, you can test the data on the node
before deciding whether to use it. If you select this option, a snapshot of
the node’s current Storage Mirroring Recover data will be taken, but the
GeoCluster Replicated Disk resource does not come online, allowing you
to check the data. (This means there is no Storage Mirroring Recover
connection established at this time.) Once the snapshot is taken, you can
test the data on the node to see if it is viable. Once you have tested the
data, you need to right-click on the online pending resource again and
accept or reject the data.
