In this scenario, a Web-server application (e.g. Apache) runs in a local cluster and its corresponding database application (e.g. MySQL or Oracle) runs in remote cluster. You never want the Web-server application to come online before the database. The remote service group contains the database resource.
Configure the RemoteGroup resource in the local cluster specifying the required attributes for it to manage or monitor the remote service group. Configure the Apache resource to depend on the RemoteGroup resource.

VCS supports clustering host or console operating systems of different VMware hosts. The Virtual machine resource (which corresponds to the Virtual Machine that we want to make highly available) configured in the local service group in the Cluster running on the host operating system. To manage the applications running inside the virtual machine, run a one-node cluster (without LLT or GAB) that runs inside the guest operating system. Configure all the applications that you want to make highly available as resources in this one-node cluster. To manage the applications running inside the guest operating system from the host operating system, configure a RemoteGroup resource for each service group configured in the one-node cluster running inside the guest operating system. These RemoteGroup resources are dependant on the VMware resource configured in the cluster running on the host operating system.
