Configuring SAMS with LifeKeeper 
Configuring SAMS with LifeKeeper This section contains information you should consider before you start to 
configure SAMS and examples of typical LifeKeeper SAMS configurations. 
Please refer to your LifeKeeper Online Product Manual for instructions on 
configuring your LifeKeeper Core resource hierarchies. 
Currently, LifeKeeper only supports an active/standby SAMS configuration 
(SAMS does not allow multiple instances of itself).
