VCS behavior when non-persistent resources restart

The OnlineRetryLimit and OnlineRetryInterval attributes determine the VCS behavior when the VCS engine attempts to bring a faulted non-persistent resource online.

The OnlineRetryLimit attribute allows a service group to be brought online again on the same system if a non-persistent resource in the service group faults. If, for some reason, the service group cannot be restarted, the VCS engine repeatedly tries to bring the service group online till the number of attempts that are specified by OnlineRetryLimit expires.

However, if the OnlineRetryInterval attribute is set to a non-zero value, the faulted service group cannot be brought online on the same system if the service group does not come up within the time interval that is specified by OnlineRetryInterval.
