Adding a resource to a service group

Add and configure a required resource as a member of a service group. You must have the role of cluster administrator or service group administrator to add a resource to a service group.

To add a resource to a service group

1. In the Group:Summary view, in the Configuration task panel, click Add/Modify Resource.
2. In the Resource Configuration dialog box, specify the following details about the resource and the service group and then click OK:
   • The resource name

     Enter the name of the resource that you want to add to the service group into the Resource Name text box. Names must consist of only one string and must not contain special characters like . (period) or _ (underscore).

   • The resource type

     Select the type of the new resource from the Resource Type drop-down menu.

   • The resource startup state

     If you want the resource to start in an enabled state after the service group comes online, check Enable Resource.

   • The resource list for the service group

     Click Add Resource to add the resource to the member resource list for the service group. The resource list is used to populate the Resource List table.

     In the Resource List table, you can edit resource attributes or delete a resource using the buttons in the Edit and Delete columns.
