Bryan and Geert, Thank you for your info. I have resumed my efforts trying to get local disk failover to work now since the holiday is over, but I still am having difficulty. If anyone can shed any light I'd sure appreciate it.
1. I have created a failover for Security DB as Bryan suggests, but the results are the same. Shutting down the primary shuts down all secondaries 2. Geert has suggested that I also fail-over the forests for Modules, Triggers, and Schemas 3. The documentation speaks (in a roundabout way) about App-Services and Meters too.... It is very confusing to know what is the minimum set of "built-in" databases that I need to create a failover for. In my little prototype I have no modules, triggers, or schemas, so I wouldn't think I would need to set these up for failover, but I don't know what MarkLogic is depending on internally. Then there's App-Services, Meters, Extensions, Fab, Last-Login, etc. Any idea on what is the minimal set of databases that MarkLogic really needs to have access to in order to run? It would seem to me that MarkLogic would publish a definitive list these necessary built-in databases so that fail over allows a server to run autonomously. I would love to see this list included in the local disk clustering and failover set up docs. Thanks for any help...

You do need to have Security database online to continue working - the 'shared nothing' architecture does not extend to Security and some system features & facilities that leverage system databases like Documents, Meters, etc.; we are a local disk shop, and use Local Disk Forest Failover to distribute/failover-to the MarkLogic "system" databases as part of our default cluster provisioning.

Host 1 Has a forest that is replicated in Host 2 and 3. The forests are at "sync replicating" 2. I disable the network from Host 1, so it is essentially removed 3. The log reports failover, but.... I can't do anything on Host 2 and 3 while Host 1 is offline. Not even the admin page. This seems wrong. I thought all hosts shared essential data. I can shut down Host 2 or 3 and everything including forest failover works fine, but shutting down Host 1 seems to bring the whole cluster down. It was my understanding that there is no "master" host, so I would think that I could shut down any host and the others would take up the slack Am I doing something wrong? Is this expected results?
