Tuning cluster vote timeout to a lower value can reduce failover time, but increases the risk that an instance that is running is excluded from the new cluster view. Tuning cluster vote timeout to a larger value reduces the risk that an running instance is excluded from the new cluster view, but may increase failover time.
