Selecting Configuration under the Resource Groups item in the tree view, then selecting either Failover or Scalable Resource Groups, then selecting Resource Group Configuration, displays the following information for the cluster failover or scalable resource groups, in table format within the context panel.
ConfigurationDescription
Resource Group Lists the resource groups that include a resource and provides information about the properties of each group. Shows the name, primaries, description, resource list, max primaries, desired primaries, failback, net resource dependencies, resource group dependencies, global resources used, and path prefix.

Resource Types Definition

          Return to Top
Selecting Definition under the Resource Type item in the tree view displays items that contain the following information for the cluster resource types in table format within the context panel. These tables show many of the definitions that belong to the resource type.

Overview Shows basic properties of all registered resource types. Properties can include the name of the resource type, installed nodes, description, base directory, single instance, init nodes, failover, type, dependencies, API version, resource type version, and packages.
Methods Shows the methods that are registered by the resource types. These methods are called by Sun Cluster in order to perform tasks such as those needed to failover resources. Methods include the resource type name, start and stop, validate, update, init, fini, boot, monitor init, monitor start, monitor stop, monitor check, prenet start, postnet stop.
Properties Shows the properties defined by the resource type. These provide additional flexibility to the resource type. They include optional standard defined parameters as well as extra parameters defined by the resource type. Parameters include the resource type, property, extension, tunable, type, default, min, max, array min, array max, and description.

Selecting Resource List under the Resource Type item in the tree view displays the resource type, resource group, and resources.
