The default Failover_mode mode for an Oracle GoldenGate resource is soft. This default mode indicates that the resource can trigger a failover to another cluster node if probe errors happen too often and will translate into an outage for the underlying database as well. If this is not the desired behavior, consider setting the Failover_mode of the Oracle GoldenGate resource to log_only or resource_restart.

The Oracle GoldenGate agent inherits the genuine behavior of the ORCL.gds resource type. For more information about the ORCL.gds resource type, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Generic Data Service (GDS) Guide .
