Can a tiebreaker trigger switchover if the MetroCluster parameter is set to auso_disabled

Hello all,

we have a set of MetroCluster IP with a tiebreaker. I make sure whether tiebreak can still initialize a switchover automatically (tiebreaker observer-mode is set to false) when auto-switchover-failure-domain is set to auso-disabled and automatic-switchover-onfailure is set to false.

Thank you

Can a tiebreak still initialize a switchover automatically (tiebreaker observer-mode is set to false) if only the parameter of "auto-switchover-failure-domain" is set to auso-disabled.

As per the document(https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/install-ip/concept_considerations_mediator.html), AUSO(MCC FC)/MAUSO(MCC IP) seems to the function of ontap(not related to tiebreaker), so I am confused
