Configuring resources and applications in VCS involves the following tasks:

• Create a service group that comprises all resources that are required for the application.

  To configure resources, you can use any of the supported components that are used for administering VCS.

  See Components for administering VCS.

• Add required resources to the service group and configure them.

  For example, to configure a database in VCS, you must configure resources for the database and for the underlying shared storage and network resources.

  Use appropriate agents to configure resources.

  See VCS bundled agents for UNIX.

  Configuring a resource involves defining values for its attributes.

  See the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide for a description of the agents provided by VCS.

  The resources must be logically grouped in a service group. When a resource faults, the entire service group fails over to another node.

• Assign dependencies between resources. For example, an IP resource depends on a NIC resource.

• Bring the service group online to make the resources available.
