Set Server Shutdown Strategy<br />

The Shutdown Strategy is a configuration option that governs whether or not resources are switched<br />

over to a backup server when a server is shut down. The options are:<br />

Do Not Switch Over <strong>Resource</strong>s<br />

(default)<br />

Switch Over <strong>Resource</strong>s<br />

SPS will not switch over resource hierarchies during an orderly<br />

shutdown.<br />

SPS will switch over all resource hierarchies during an orderly<br />

shutdown.<br />

Restriction: The Switch Over on Shutdown setting is not supported with SteelEye DataKeeper<br />

resources.<br />

The Shutdown Strategy is set by default to ”Do Not Switch Over <strong>Resource</strong>s.” You should decide<br />

which strategy you want to use on each server, and if you wish, change the Shutdown Strategy to<br />

"Switch Over <strong>Resource</strong>s".<br />

For each server in the cluster:<br />

1. Bring up the Server Properties dialog just as you would for viewing server properties.<br />

2. On the General Tab of the Server Properties dialog, select the Shutdown Strategy.<br />

Note: The LifeKeeper process must be running during an orderly shutdown for the Shutdown<br />

Strategy to have an effect. If LifeKeeper is not running or the resources are not currently in service,<br />

the resources will not switch over.<br />

Server Properties<br />

The Server Properties dialog is available from the Edit Menu or from a server popup menu. This<br />

dialog displays the properties for a particular server. When accessed from the Edit menu, you can<br />

select the server. The Server Properties dialog updates itself when the selected server changes.<br />

The OK button applies any changes that have been made and then closes the window. The Apply<br />

button applies any changes that have been made. The Cancel button closes the window without<br />

saving any changes made since Apply was last clicked.<br />
