Resource Type and Possible Owners You give a new resource a name, description, resource type, group, and possible owners. A resource can only belong to one group. Some resources may have dependencies. You add resources to a group through configuring a new resource within Cluster Administrator. You can also create or add resources from the Resources folder. To create a resource, click File, select New, and then click Resource. The following table lists the New Resource page options and their usage. Option Use Name The unique name of the resource. You can change the resource name, because internal resources are identified by their globally unique identifier (GUID). Description An optional description of the resource. Resource Type A drop-down list of available resources. See the following table on the next page for a list of all of the default resources. Group A drop-down box of available groups in the cluster. Run this resource in a separate Resource Monitor Sets the resource to run in a separate Resource Monitor. This option is useful for a resource that is not functioning correctly. In this case, the resource will only affect its own Resource Monitor instead of affecting a Resource Monitor that is monitoring multiple resources. Naming the Resource You name a resource for administrative use. For example, there might be ten file share resources on a cluster. You would need to use a naming convention to logically identify each resource. In the New Resource dialog box, you need to enter the resource name and the group that you want the resource to belong to. All of the resources have similar configuration settings. You can enter a description of the resource, The following table lists the default resource types. 1. DHCP Service 2. Distributed Transaction Coordinator 3. File Share 4. Generic Application 5. Generic Service 6. Internet Information Services (IIS) Service Instance 7. IP Address 8. Message Queuing 9. Network Name 10. Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) Server Instance 11. Physical Disk 12. Print Spooler 13. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Server Instance 14. Time Service 15. WINS Service Note: Some cluster-aware applications add resources to the default resource type list. For example, if you install Microsoft Exchange 2000 on a cluster, you need to open the New Resource dialog box and add the appropriate Exchange resources to a group. Possible Owners You configure failover for a resource by setting its Possible owners. A possible owner can be any node in the cluster that is allowed to run the resource. You can restrict a resource from running on specific nodes within the cluster. In Windows 2000 Advanced Server, a Cluster service resource can have only two possible owners because there are only two nodes in the cluster. If you want a resource or group to run on one node without failover capabilities, select only one possible owner. In such a situation, a failover will not occur because there is no node defined as a possible owner for one or more of the resources within a group. In the Possible Owners dialog box, indicate the nodes on which you can bring the new resource online. In the next dialog box, select any dependencies that this new resource might have.
