Global service groups

A global service group is a regular VCS group with additional properties to enable wide-area failover. The global service group attribute ClusterList defines the list of clusters to which the group can fail over. The service group must be configured on all participating clusters and must have the same name on each cluster. The Global Group Configuration wizard provides an easy interface to configure global groups.

SeeAdministering global service groups.

Replication during cross-cluster failover is managed by VCS agents. You can configure a resource of type DNS to perform a canonical name update, if cross-cluster failover spans subnets.
