Creating Cluster Resources

To add a cluster resource:

  1. Start the HA Management Client and log in to the cluster as described in Section 4.1, “Graphical HA Management Client”.

  2. Select Resources+Add New Item, or click the + button.

  3. Choose the resource item type you want to create, then click OK.

    The possible options are:

    • Native

    • Group

    • Location (Constraint)

    • Order (Constraint)

    • Colocation (Constraint)

    All but the Native and Group resource item types are constraints. You must have a resource or group created in order to create a constraint and add that constraint to a resource.

  4. Enter the Resource ID (name) and if desired, choose a group to add the resource to.

  5. Select the resource Type from the list. To display a brief description of that resource type, double-click any of the resource types in the list.

  6. Conditional: After selecting a resource type, a line for that resource type might be added to the Parameters section of the screen. If a line is added, click the line once and then click the line again under the Value heading to open a field where you can add the needed value.

    1. Add the needed value for the resource.

      For example, if you selected an IP address as the resource type above, enter the IP address for the resource.

    2. Click Add Parameter, specify the parameter Name and Value, then click OK.

  7. Click Add at the bottom of the screen to add the resource to the cluster.
