Answer

Although the -auto-giveback setting was disabled, the system still performed an auto-giveback once the node was booted back up because -onreboot was enabled. If the system performs a takeover because the partner node reboots and the -onreboot setting is enabled, the system will always perform an auto-giveback once the partner node is back up, regardless of the -auto-giveback setting being disabled.
 
If auto-giveback was performed due to the -on-reboot setting, the following events will be seen in the EMS logs:
[?] Sat Dec 25 13:52:57 +0100 [Node1: cf_main: cf.fsm.autoGBTkoverOnReboot:info]: Failover monitor: Automatic giveback was initiated following a takeover that was caused by the partner reboot.
[?] Sat Dec 25 13:52:57 +0100 [Node1: cf_main: cf.fsm.autoGivebackStarted:info]: Failover monitor: Automatic giveback started
