Fix Exchange DAG Failovers Caused by Snapshots

July 3rd, 2012 Posted in Exchange, Virtualization

By changing the following thresholds you can likely prevent unexpected failover of the DAG.
cluster.exe /prop SameSubnetDelay=2000:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop CrossSubnetDelay=4000:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop CrossSubnetThreshold=10:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop SameSubnetThreshold=10:DWORD

To change back to the defaults…
cluster.exe /prop SameSubnetDelay=1000:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop CrossSubnetDelay=1000:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop CrossSubnetThreshold=5:DWORD
cluster.exe /prop SameSubnetThreshold=5:DWORD

To view your current settings.
cluster.exe /prop

    Hello,

    Question: If I run these commands, Can a Failover occur?? Are these danger free?? =)

    Regards.

    Yes! It works as expected.
