All high priority cluster interconnect links fail

In this example, both high priority cluster interconnect links to System2 fail, leaving System2 with only the low priority link remaining.

Cluster status communication is now routed over the low priority link to System2. System2 is placed in a jeopardy membership. The service groups on System2 are autodisabled, and the service group attribute AutoFailOver is set to 0, meaning the service group will not fail over on a system fault.

When a cluster interconnect link is re-established, all cluster status communications revert back to the cluster interconnect and the low priority link returns to sending heartbeat signal only. At this point, System2 is placed back in regular cluster membership.
