Controlling Clean behavior on resource faults

The ManageFaults attribute specifies whether VCS calls the Clean function when a resource in the service group faults. ManageFaults is a service group attribute; you can configure each service group to operate as desired.

• If the ManageFaults attribute is set to ALL, VCS calls the Clean function when a resource faults.
• If the ManageFaults attribute is set to NONE, VCS takes no action on a resource fault; it hangs the service group until administrative action can be taken. VCS marks the resource state as admin_wait and does not fail over the service group until the resource fault is removed and the admin_wait state is cleared.

  VCS calls the resadminwait trigger when a resource enters the admin_wait state due to a resource fault if the ManageFaults attribute is set to NONE. You can customize this trigger to provide notification about the fault.

  See resadminwait event trigger.

  When ManageFaults is set to none and one of the following events occur, the resource enters the admin_wait state:

   

  Event	Resource state
  The offline function did not complete within the expected time.	ONLINE|ADMIN_WAIT
  The offline function was ineffective.	ONLINE|ADMIN_WAIT
  The online function did not complete within the expected time.	OFFLINE|ADMIN_WAIT
  The online function was ineffective.	OFFLINE|ADMIN_WAIT
  The resource was taken offline unexpectedly.	OFFLINE|ADMIN_WAIT
  For the online resource the monitor function consistently failed to complete within the expected time.	ONLINE|MONITOR_TIMEDOUT|ADMIN_WAIT
