25.5 Quorum Arbitration Timeout

You can set the QuorumArbitrationTimeMax registry key for Windows Server failover clusters in your PlateSpin environment by using the global parameter FailoverQuorumArbitrationTimeout on the PlateSpin Server Configuration page. The default timeout is 60 seconds, in keeping with the Microsoft default value for this setting. See QuorumArbitrationTimeMax on the Microsoft Developer Network website. The specified timeout interval is honored for quorum arbitration at failover and failback.

To set the quorum arbitration timeout for all Windows failover clusters:

  1. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/

    Replace Your_PlateSpin_Server with the DNS host name or IP address of your PlateSpin Migrate Server.

  2. Search for FailoverQuorumArbitrationTimeout, then click Edit.

  3. In the Value field, specify the maximum number of seconds to allow for quorum arbitration.

  4. Click Save.
