Setting Cluster Resource 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 Cluster Disk, do the following:

1. From Failover Cluster Management, under Other Resources for the cluster group, right click on the Access Connect File and Print Server resource.
2. Click Properties.
3. Select the Dependencies tab.
4. Add the IP Address, Network Name, and the Cluster Disk as dependencies.
5. Click OK.

Note: Since the Access Connect resource is created under the High Availability 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 Advanced Policies tab and modify the Possible Owners accordingly.
