          Failover will fail the selected instances to their secondary

          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
813
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to

          disks before failing over an instance. If you are trying to

          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the

          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
816 854
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
