Typically, bringing a child group online manually is never rejected, except under the following circumstances:
For online local dependencies, if parent is online, a child group online is rejected for any system other than the system where parent is online.
For online remote dependencies, if parent is online, a child group online is rejected for the system where parent is online.
For offline local dependencies, if parent is online, a child group online is rejected for the system where parent is online.
The following examples describe situations where bringing a parallel child group online is accepted:
For a parallel child group linked online local with failover/parallel parent, multiple instances of child group online are acceptable.
For a parallel child group linked online remote with failover parent, multiple instances of child group online are acceptable, as long as child group does not go online on the system where parent is online.
For a parallel child group linked offline local with failover/parallel parent, multiple instances of child group online are acceptable, as long as child group does not go online on the system where parent is online.
