Understanding Your Failover Cluster

Table 4-7 shows a four-node multiway failover configuration for the cluster
shown in Figure 4-3. For each resource group, the failover order in the
Preferred Owners list in Failover Cluster Management console outlines the
order that you want that resource group to failover. In this example, node 1
owns applications A, B, and C. If node 1 fails, applications A, B, and C failover
to cluster nodes 2, 3, and 4. Configure the applications similarly on
nodes 2, 3, and 4.
When implementing multiway failover, configure failback to avoid
performance degradation. See "Understanding Your Failover Cluster" on
page 39 for more information.
