In this configuration, assume that groups probe in the same order they are described, G1 through G8. Group G1 chooses the system with the highest AvailableCapacity value. All systems have the same available capacity, so G1 starts on Server1 because this server is lexically first. Groups G2 through G4 follow on Server2 through Server4.

Table: Autostart cluster configuration for a basic four-node cluster shows the Autostart cluster configuration for a basic four-node cluster with the initial four service groups online.

As the next groups come online, group G5 starts on Server4 because this server has the highest AvailableCapacity value. Group G6 then starts on Server1 with AvailableCapacity of 80. Group G7 comes online on Server3 with AvailableCapacity of 70 and G8 comes online on Server2 with AvailableCapacity of 60.

Table: Autostart cluster configuration for a basic four-node clusterwith the other service groups online shows the Autostart cluster configuration for a basic four-node cluster with the other service groups online.

In this configuration, Server2 fires the loadwarning trigger after 600 seconds because it is at the default LoadWarningLevel of 80 percent.
