Some events lead to an automatic takeover if storage failover is enabled.
The following system events cause an automatic and unavoidable takeover of the node.
- The node cannot send heartbeat messages to its partner due to events such as loss of power or watchdog reset.
- You halt the node without using the -f or -inhibit-takeover parameter.
If the onpanic parameter is set to true, a node panic also causes an automatic takeover. If onpanic is set to false a node panic does not cause an automatic takeover.
