Administering global service groups
After connecting clusters in a global cluster environment, use the Global Group Configuration wizard to convert a local service group that is common to the global clusters to a global group. This wizard also enables you to convert global groups into local groups.
Administering global groups requires the following conditions:
-
A group that is intended to serve as the global group must have the same name across all applicable clusters.
-
You must know the user name and password for the administrator for each cluster in the configuration.
Use the Cluster:Summary, Cluster:Resources, or Group:Summary views to administer a global service group.
