Configuring Oscillating Failure counters
Oscillating failure handling provides the ability to handle error situations, and to reduce
their impact on normal system operation.
This feature detects and reports various oscillating failures, in cases when
components fail repeatedly and cause unnecessary failovers. You can configure the
time interval associated with each window type, and the number of failures allowed
before reporting commences for each window type, per counter.
You can reset specified oscillating failure counters to zero. This can be useful when
you have fixed a problem and want to ensure that an alert is no longer active in the
system.
Configure Oscillating Failure counter parameters
Configure Oscillating Failure counter parameters for the entire system, or for specific
Protection Domains or Storage Pools.
