Create Cluster Resources Cluster resources must be created for every resource or application you run on servers in your cluster. Cluster resources can include Web sites, e-mail servers, databases, and any other server-based applications or services you want to make available to users at all times. 1. In ConsoleOne, browse and select the Cluster object you want to create resources for. 2. Click File > New > Cluster > Cluster Resource. 3. Enter a name for the new cluster resource. 4. If a template exists for the resource you are creating, enter the template name in the Inherit From Template field, or browse and select it from the list. If a template does not exist, check the Define Additional Properties check box. 5. Click Create. 6. (Conditional) If you are not using a template for the resources, continue with "Configure Load Scripts" on page 17. If you are not using a template, you must complete the process for creating the cluster resource by configuring load and unload scripts, setting failover and failback modes, and if necessary change the node assignments for the resource. If you are using a template for this resource, additional resource configuration is performed automatically by the template. Configure Load Scripts A load script is required for each resource, service, or volume in your cluster. The load script specifies the commands to start the resource or service on a server, or to mount the volume on a server. You can use any commands in the load script that would be used in an .NCF file run from the server console.
