          Failover will fail the selected instances to their secondary
805
          Failover will fail the instance over its secondary
813 806
          node. This works only for instances having a remote raid
814 807
          disk layout.

          The selection of which instances to failover is done via the

            <varlistentry>

              <listitem>
824
                <simpara>will select the instances given as arguments
825
                (at least one argument required); this is the default

                selection</simpara>

          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
850
          disks before failing over an instance. If you are trying to
812
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to
851 813
          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the
852 814
          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
853 815
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
