About Cluster Server service group alerting and failover reporting

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Cluster Server (VCS) service group failover alerting and reporting provides the following features:
  • It calculates the average failover duration for the automatic unplanned failover of VCS service groups in the data center. The storage administrator can view the service groups that take more time to come online on a system. The alerting feature also helps you understand the overall performance of Cluster Server in the data center. The failover duration of VCS service groups is provided by the VCS Failover Duration report.
  • It provides the ability to set the threshold (in seconds) for the failover duration alert. InfoScale Operations Manager raises an alert if the current failover duration is more than the specified threshold. You can set the failover duration threshold for the following objects:
    • Cluster
    • Service group
The value of the failover duration set at the cluster level is applicable to all its constituent service groups unless explicitly set at a particular service group-level.
Note: To use the reporting and alerting feature, make sure you use 6.1, or later versions of Cluster Server, InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server and the managed hosts.
