Learn About the Failover Alert Delay

The failover alert delay is a configurable time period for which the waits before assessing the distribution of the storage subsystem after a logical drive ownership transfer is caused by or the multi-path driver.

If any logical drive is not on the path of its when the delay period expires, the event is logged as a critical event. A logical drive transfer alert notification is issued. If the logical drive is transferred to the path of its preferred owner before the delay period expires, and all other logical drives are on their preferred path, the event is not logged. An alert notification is not issued.

The logical drive transfer alert notification is issued for any instance of a logical drive owned by a non-preferred controller. This notification occurs whether ADT is enabled and is in addition to any informational or critical event already logged within the ADT or RDAC context.


Note:

Whenever a logical drive-not-on-preferred-path condition occurs, a Needs Attention condition is raised immediately. Only the alert notification is delayed.
