Service group dependencies have special requirements and limitations for disaster recovery configuration and for actions to be taken in a disaster recovery scenario.

Service group dependency configurations are described in detail in the VCS documentation.

See the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.

If the service group has an unsupported type of dependency and you select it in the DR wizard, you receive an error notification when you attempt to move to the next wizard page.

In a hardware replication environment, the Disaster Recovery wizard supports one level of dependency (one child). If you need to configure more levels, you will need to add the service group and the dependency link manually on the secondary site after you finish running the DR wizard.

In a Volume Replicator environment, the wizard cannot configure DR for a service group that has a child and you will need to configure the secondary site manually. For more information on configuring Volume Replicator, see the Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide. For more information on configuring GCO, see the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.
