Properties

*This documentation section describes the LifeKeeper Web Management Console (LKWMC). Refer to the LifeKeeper Web Management Console for an overview.

Clicking the Properties menu item in the Server section of the left menu will display information and property settings for the selected server.

For each server in the LifeKeeper cluster, the Properties page displays the following information.

• General - General status information and settings for the selected server.
  • Status - Current state of the server. The possible values are:
    • ALIVE - The server is available.
    • DEAD - The server is unavailable.
    • UNKNOWN - The server state cannot be determined. The LifeKeeper REST API may not be available.
      
      
  • Shutdown Strategy - The Shutdown Strategy is a LifeKeeper configuration option that governs whether or not resources are automatically brought in-service on a standby server when a server shuts down gracefully. The possible values are:
    • Do not switchover resources (default) - LifeKeeper will not bring resources in service on a standby server during an orderly shutdown.
    • Switchover resources - LifeKeeper will bring resources in service on a standby server during an orderly shutdown.
      
      
  • OS - The type and version of the operating system on the server.
    
    
  • LifeKeeper Product Name - The LifeKeeper product installed on the server.
    
    
  • LifeKeeper version - The version of the LifeKeeper Core software installed on the server.
    
    
• Failover Strategy – Settings which allow for additional customization of failover behavior for the selected server when LifeKeeper detects a resource or node failure. This feature is not available in LifeKeeper Single Server Protection.
  • Disable System Failover - When a failover occurs due to a node failure in a LifeKeeper cluster (Note: A node failure is identified by the failure of all LifeKeeper communication paths to the system), you can disable failover to the standby node.
  • Disable Resource Failover - You can disable the failover when a failure occurs in the resource hierarchy. The Disable Resource Failover setting can only be disabled if the Disable System Failover setting is disabled.

Refer to Disabling Automatic Failover for setting details.
