Peer Management Center includes support for automatically restarting File Collaboration jobs that include participating hosts that have been disconnected, have reconnected, and are once again available.
After a host becomes unavailable and the quorum is lost on a running File Collaboration job, the job automatically stops running and enters a pending state, waiting for one or more hosts to become available again so that the quorum can be met. Once the quorum is met, the pending job will automatically be restarted, beginning with a scan of all root folders.
In a job where a host becomes unavailable but quorum is not lost, the remaining hosts will continue collaborating. If the unavailable host becomes available once again, it is brought back into the running job and a background scan begins on all participating hosts, similar in fashion to the initial background scan at the start of a job.
You can enable all File Collaboration jobs to auto-restart. You can also disable auto-restart File Collaboration jobs on a per-job and per-host instance. For more information on disabling auto-restart at the job level, see Participants Tab.

1.Select Preferences from the Window menu.
