Re: Configure failover in seconds

If you are running a geographically dispersed cluster, what SAN / software
are you using for this ?

I want to change the number of seconds MSCS failover occurs so it does not
conflict with SAN failover.

Thank you.

I want to set a property in Cluster Administrator: number of seconds to
wait
before failover occurs from one node to another in Windows Server
2003.

Thank you.

To set the value of the ClusSvcHeartbeatTimeout property, run the
following
command from a command prompt:

cluster.exe /cluster:clustername /prop clussvcheartbeattimeout=number
of
seconds

where clustername is the name of the cluster and number of seconds is
the
number of seconds that you want to use in the calculation of the
heartbeat.

But, I would not mess with it. What are you trying to accomplish.

Where do you set the number of seconds to wait before failover
occurs
from
one node to another in Windows Server 2003?

Thank you.
