Dependent Resources

A dependent resource requires—or depends on—another resource to operate. For example, if a Generic Application resource requires access to clustered physical storage, it would depend on a physical disk resource. A resource can specify one or more resources on which it is dependent; it can also specify a list of nodes on which it is able to run.

The following terms describe resources in a dependency relationship:

Dependent resource — A resource that depends on other resources (the dependencies).

Dependency — A resource on which another resource depends.

Dependency tree — A series of dependency relationships such that resource A depends on resource B, resource B depends on resource C, and so on.

Resources in a dependency tree obey the following rules:

A dependent resource and all of its dependencies must be in the same group.

The Cluster Service takes a dependent resource offline before any of its dependencies are taken offline and brings a dependent resource online after all its dependencies are online, as determined by the dependency hierarchy.

Setting Resource Properties

Using the resource Properties dialog box, you can perform the following tasks:

View or change the resource name

View or change the resource description and possible owners

Assign a separate memory space for the resource

View the resource type, group ownership, and resource state

View which node currently owns the resource

View pre-existing dependencies and modify resource dependencies

Specify whether to restart a resource and the settings used to restart the resource (if required)

Check the online state of the resource by configuring the Looks Alive and Is Alive polling intervals in the Cluster Service

Specify the time requirement for resolving a resource in a pending state (Online Pending or Offline Pending) before the Cluster Service places the resource in Offline or Failed status

Set specific resource parameters

The General, Dependencies, and Advanced tabs are the same for every resource. Some resource types support additional tabs.

Properties of a cluster object should not be updated on multiple nodes simultaneously. See the MSCS online documentation for more information.
