Set Auto Failback in a redundancy cluster
Last Updated: July 02, 2026

The Auto Failback feature enables an N:1 (hot_cold) RC to automatically transition from an Active Standby back to the Initially Active server after the Initial Active server becomes available and healthy again. Auto Failback is disabled by default. You can also set the Auto Failback Delay parameter to control the time period in seconds, to wait before auto-failing back once the active server has been recovered. The value is an integer from 1 to 600. The default Auto Failback Delay value is 60 seconds.

You may also edit the existing RC to enable the auto failback feature.

  1. Select Elements > VUE in the navigation bar.
  2. Select a VUE system from the list which is a member of the RC.
