System events that result in an automatic takeover

Some events lead to an automatic takeover if storage failover is enabled.

The following system events cause an automatic and unavoidable takeover of the node.

  • The node cannot send heartbeat messages to its partner due to events such as loss of power or watchdog reset.

  • You halt the node without using the -f or -inhibit-takeover parameter.

If the onpanic parameter is set to true, a node panic also causes an automatic takeover. If onpanic is set to false a node panic does not cause an automatic takeover.
