Hi Marcos,

>From the Red Hat documentation:

A failover domain is a named subset of cluster members that are eligible to
run a cluster service in the event of a system failure. A failover domain
can have the following characteristics:

   -

   Unrestricted — Allows you to specify that a subset of members are
   preferred, but that a cluster service assigned to this domain can run on any
   available member.
   -

   Restricted — Allows you to restrict the members that can run a particular
   cluster service. If none of the members in a restricted failover domain are
   available, the cluster service cannot be started (either manually or by the
   cluster software).
   -

   Unordered — When a cluster service is assigned to an unordered failover
   domain, the member on which the cluster service runs is chosen from the
   available failover domain members with no priority ordering.
   -

   Ordered — Allows you to specify a preference order among the members of a
   failover domain. The member at the top of the list is the most preferred,
   followed by the second member in the list, and so on.

By default, failover domains are unrestricted and unordered.


Configure them as restricted
