Setting Cluster Service Dependencies

To ensure that cluster services start-up in correct order, you must set resource dependencies for the IP Address, Network Name, and the Physical Disk.

To set resource dependencies for the IP Address, Network Name, and the Physical Disk, do the following:

  1. From the Cluster Administrator, right click on the Access Connect service resource.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. Select the Dependencies tab.
  4. Click Modify.
  5. Add the IP Address, Network Name, and the Physical Disk as dependencies.
  6. Click OK.

Note: Since the Access Connect resource is created under the virtual server wizard, all the nodes in the cluster are owners for the resource. If you do not want this configuration, you can change it before you bring the service online. To change the owners for the resource, click the General tab and modify the Possible Owners accordingly.
