+GENERAL
+-------
+
+This is a description of how the AMF service handles being headless (SC down)
+and recovery (SC up).
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+
+AMF reads the "scAbsenceAllowed" attribute to determine if headless mode is
+supported. A positive integer indicates the number of seconds AMF will tolerate
+being headless.
+
+Normally, the AMF Node Director restarts a node if there is no active AMF
+Director. If headless support is enabled, the Node Director will delay the
+restart for the duration specified in "scAbsenceAllowed". If a SC recovers
+during the period, the restart is aborted.
+
+IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+----------------------
+
+While headless, state information such as component and SU restart counts
+cannot be synced to the Director. The Node Director will send these values to
+the Director once a SC recovers.
+
+LIMITATIONS
+-----------
+
+Recovery actions are limited while headless.
+
+Supported:
+* component and SU restart
+
+Limited support:
+* component and SU failover. Failover is delayed until SC recovery.
+For 2N Service Group, a standby assignment will transition
+to active directly if required. For other Service Group types, standby
+assignments are first removed, and reassigned as appropriate for the SG.
+
+Not supported:
+* node switchover and failover will result in node restart.
+
+
+SI/CSI dependencies will not be honoured while headless.
