+recovery::
+
+Wait for recovery of the service. The HA manager tries to find a new node where
+the service can run on. This search depends not only on the list of online and
+quorate nodes, but also if the service is a group member and how such a group
+is limited.
+As soon as a new available node is found, the service will be moved there and
+initially placed into stopped state. If it's configured to run the new node
+will do so.
