QSP Resource Properties

Each QSP resource has the following properties:

• Protected Service
• Service Name
  • The service name and display name of the Windows service protected by the QSP resource.
• Monitoring Status
  • The status of whether service monitoring is enabled or disabled. If the Quick Check Interval is non-zero, the Monitoring Status is enabled. if the Quick Check Interval is zero, the Monitoring Status is disabled.
• Startup Timeout
  • Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that LifeKeeper will allow for a service to start. If restore or recover determines that the service did not reach the “Running” state within this period of time, the operation is failed and an event is logged.
  • Setting this value to 0 disables the checks and lets the service take as long as it needs to start.
• Shutdown Timeout
  • Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that LifeKeeper will allow for a service to stop. If remove determines that the service did not reach the “Stopped” state within this period of time, the operation is failed and an event is logged.
  • Setting this value to 0 disables the checks and lets the service take as long as it needs to stop.
• Local Recovery
  • The status of whether local recovery is enabled or disabled.

These are all configured during resource create and inherited during extend.
