Set network health monitoring policies

Use
Health Monitoring Policy Properties
to fine tune the parameters that the system uses when determining whether a network failure is occurring and how long to wait before switching to a Standby server.
A network failure occurs when a server is temporarily unable to communicate with other computers because of network traffic and fluctuations. During a network failure, even though the computers in the redundant server pair cannot communicate, the active server remains active and the standby server remains on standby.
TIP:
Changing health monitoring policy settings can have unexpected results. The preset default settings typically provide optimal efficiency for most networks.
