To make the application group functional in Microsoft clustering, the application resource needs to be added, as well as any other resources that are associated with the application. Also, dependencies need to be established for the resources. This section presents a summary of the process for completing the application group setup.
Before creating the application resource, make sure that all the other resources that you created are online, including the disk group resource and any additional application resources.
Refer to the application documentation for help on creating its resource and additional resources that may be required. You may need to create an IP address resource and a network name resource in addition to the Volume Manager Disk Group resource that you created earlier.
Ensure that you select the appropriate disk group resource as the storage resource on which the application resource is dependent.
The following dependency chart indicates the dependencies that are established.
