Viewing the Failover Summary report

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In InfoScale Operations Manager, the Failover Summary report displays information on failovers that Cluster Server (VCS) supports to ensure high availability. The Failover Summary report displays information on the following types of failovers that are associated with a cluster:
Planned failover The failover that you have planned and executed with the Online or the Switch operations.
Unplanned automatic failover The failover that occurred because of faults in the data center , which would have affected the high availability adversely. Cluster Server has performed the failover operation without your interference.
Unplanned manual failover The failover that occurred because of faults in the data center . VCS required your interference to clear the faults for performing the failover operation.
The Failover Summary report displays the details in the Summary and the Details pages. The Summary page displays the details using charts. The Details page displays the details in tables.
In the Failover Summary report, you can view a pie chart that displays the overall failover summary. Under this pie chart, you can view the failover summary on individual clusters on which you have run the report.
For each cluster, you can view the following:
  • Table that lists the service groups that are part of the cluster that you have selected and the number of failovers on each of them.
  • Pie chart that displays the summary of failovers.
  • Trend chart that displays the number of failovers over a selected period.
  • Bar chart that displays the number of failovers on each service group.
Below the graph area, you can click the Show Details link to view the table that displays the following information:
  • Date and time at which the failover occurred.
  • Service Groups on which the failover occurred.
  • Type of failover.
  • Whether the failover was completed by the system or the user.
At the top of the Failover Summary report table, you can view the following:
  • Scope that you have specified for the report.
  • Date and time at which the report is generated.
  • Duration that you have specified for the report.
You can perform the following tasks in this view:
  • Subscribe for the report.
  • Save the report as a CSV file.
  • Email the report.
You can view this information related to the clusters and service groups for which your user group has at least Guest role explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization. You can also view information if your user group has at least Guest role assigned on the Availability perspective.
