Do these have the same meaing?

1. You can configure it for a switchover or a failver situation.

2. You can configure it for switchover or failover situations. (Plural 'situations' for switchover situation and failover situations?)

Or it only works with and?

3. You can configure it for switchover and failover situations.

Hi Jack,

1. You can configure it for a switchover (situation) or a failover situation. (for a situation like the one you are mentioning. In this sentence there is an implicit word, "situation", after switchover. You are then talking about "a situation", in general)

2. You can configure it for switchover (situations) or failover situations. (for situations like the ones you are mentioning. In this sentence there is an implicit word, "situations", after switchover. You are then talking about "situations", in general)

#1 and #2 have practically the same general meaning.

3. You can configure it for switchover (situations) and failover situations. / You can configure it for a switchover (situation) and a failover situation.

A switchover and a failover situation are situations that...

Switchover and Failover situations are situations that...

Just my opinion... Smile [:)]

If you don't have a sense of humor already, it's about time you buy one.

Hi,

What does 'failover' mean? It's not a common word. I've never heard it.

A failover procedure is the procedure to which one switches over in case of failure (engineering term).

Can't I use 'siutations' to represent 'switchover situation' and 'failover situation', thus the plural 's' ? I'm using 'situations' to represent these two situations: switchover and failover.

Therefore, #2 has the same meaning as #1 but they are just worded differently?

If you don't understand what I'm trying to say, here is another example:

3. For failover and switchover situations....(I'm using 'situations' to represent 'failover situation' and 'switchover siutaiton' thus the plural 'situations' )
4. For a failover situation and a switchover situation...

So #3 has the same meaning as #4? It all depends on how you interrupt it?
