A sample configuration graphically depicts the resources and their dependencies within the service group. The following example describes a typical MSDTC service group configured to monitor the state of the MSDTC services in a VCS cluster.

In the sample configuration shown in the dependency graph, the shared disk group is configured using the VMDg resource. The virtual name for the MSDTC Server is created using the Lanman resource. The service group IP address for the MSDTC Server is configured using the IP and NIC resources. The MountV mount point is created using the MountV resource. MSDTC registry is replicated using the RegRep and RegRepMountV resources. The MSDTC resource comes online after each of these resources are brought online.
