> [!NOTE]
> When you create the resource, and periodically afterwards, the Pacemaker resource agent automatically sets the value of `REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT` on the availability group based on the availability group's configuration. For example, if the availability group has three synchronous replicas, the agent will set `REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT` to `1`. For details and additional configuration options, see [High availability and data protection for availability group configurations](../linux/sql-server-linux-availability-group-ha.md).
