SQL Server AlwaysOn Failover threshold and Lease Timeout

Hi experts, 

  I found each time when I were building/restoring another log shipping(standby) server. It would cause ERR [RES] SQL Server Availability Group: [hadrag] Failure detected, diagnostics heartbeat is lost(in cluster log) and A connection timeout has occurred on a previously established connection to availability replica 'DL980-4' with id(in errorlog). I google and find a document (http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/F/B/0FBFAA46-2BFD-478F-8E56-7BF3C672DF9D/Troubleshooting%20SQL%20Server%20AlwaysOn.pdf ) indicated that “This may be a performance issue”.  I  run restore database and AlwaysOn synchronizing on the same 10GbE link at the same time.

  Should I increase

leaseTimeout from 20000 to 100000 and

HealthCheckTimeout from 30000 to 300000?

Does it work to prevent unnecessary failover.

Hi Denzil

we seem to see lease expires very frequently when the server is under very high cpu pressure .. our failure condition level is 1

is it possible to prevent this situation . the problem is when lease expires,all the current connections seem to be dropped . wondering if there is a way to prevent this ..

Also is it possible to affitinize the always on health check process to a particular core

Thanks for your help!
