To Configure the Group Management Service

The Group Management Service (GMS) is an in-process service that provides cluster monitoring, cluster membership, and group communication services. The GMS performs the following functions:

  1. In the navigation tree, expand the Configuration node.

  2. Select the configuration for the cluster that you are changing.

  3. Under the configuration's node, select the Group Management Service node.

    The Group Management Service page opens.

  4. In the Maximum Missed Heartbeats field, type the maximum number of missed heartbeats from a member before the GMS confirms that a failure is suspected.

    The default is 3.

  5. In the Heartbeat Frequency field, type the period of time between successive broadcasts of a group member's heartbeat.

    The default is 2000 milliseconds.

  6. In the Group Discovery Timeout field, type the amount of time that the GMS waits for discovery of other cluster members.

    The default is 5000 milliseconds.

  7. In the Failure Verification Wait Time field, type the amount of time to wait before verifying that a member that is suspected to have failed should be reported as failed.

    The default is 1500 milliseconds.

  8. To restore default values, click the Load Defaults button.

  9. In the Additional Properties section, specify additional properties.

  10. Click Save.
