Linking resources

Link resources to create a dependency. You must have the role of cluster administrator or service group administrator to link resources.

To link two resources

1. In the Resource:Summary view, in the Configuration task panel, click
   Link/Unlink Resource.
2. In the Link/Unlink Resource dialog box, specify the following details for the resource link and then click OK:
   • The parent resource

     Select the parent resource from the drop-down menu. This resource must be brought online before the child resource. The Parent Resource menu is populated using the resource list of the service group in which the resources are configured.

   • The child resource

     Select the child resource from the scroll box. This resource is brought online after the parent resource. The Child Resource scroll box is populated using the resource list of the service group in which the resources are configured. This list is filtered depending upon the selection you make in Parent Resource. Click Add Link after you select a child resource to add the link to the Currently Linked table.
