Sun Cluster 3.0 Concepts

Failback Settings

Resource groups fail over from one node to another. You can specify that, in the event that a resource group fails over to another node, after the node it was previously running on returns to the cluster, it will "fail back" to the original node. This option is set using the Failback resource group property setting.

In certain instances, for example if the original node hosting the resource group is failing and rebooting repeatedly, setting failback might result in reduced availability for the resource group.
