-
enabled.
Indicates whether automatic failover is enabled (a value of true) or disabled (a value of false).

/settings/autoFailover |
Enables and disables automatic failover.
Uses the following paramenters:
-
enabled=[true|false].
Enables or disables automatic failover.
-
`timeout=`number-of-seconds.
Integer between 5 and 3600.
Specifies the number of seconds that must elapse after a node has become unavailable, before automatic failover is triggered.
-
`maxCount=`number-of-events.
Specifies the number of auto-failover events that are sequentially handled before user intervention is required.
An event might consist of one node failing over; or alternatively, of an entire server group failing over.
The maximum allowed value is three.
The default value is one.
-
`failoverServerGroup=[true|false]&maxCount=`number-of-seconds.
Enables or disables automatic failover for server groups, and specifies the number of seconds that must elapse after a node has become unavailable, before automatic failover is triggered.
Do not enable failover for server groups unless you have set up three of more server groups, and have the capacity to absorb the load of any failed-over group.
-
`failoverOnDataDiskIssues[enabled]=[true|false]&failoverOnDataDiskIssues[timePeriod]=`number-of-seconds.
Integer between 5 and 3600.
Enables or disables automatic failover for any sustained disk read/write failure, after the specied time-period has elapsed
