For the LVSA, if the client is unable to create a snapshot; for example, if thesnapshotfsidle is not met or the snapshotlocation option is not valid, failover toa non-OFS backup occurs on the volumes where this problem exists.6. To enable OFS support in a cluster environment, all workstations in the clustermust have OFS configured.
