Why each option
ONTAP supports system-defined, user-defined, and clusterwide failover groups - 'Next Available' and 'Priority' are failover policies, not failover group types.
System-defined failover groups are automatically created by ONTAP when ports are added and cannot be manually deleted.
User-defined failover groups are manually created by administrators to control which ports a LIF can fail over to.
Next Available is a LIF failover policy that determines the order of port selection during failover, not a type of failover group.
Priority is a LIF failover policy option controlling port selection preference, not a category of failover group.
Clusterwide is a specific system-defined failover group that includes all applicable ports across every node in the cluster, providing the broadest failover scope.
