Validation Checks For Scalable Services

Whenever a scalable resource is created or updated, the RGM validates various resource properties. If the properites are not configured correctly, the RGM rejects the attempted update or creation. The RGM performs the following checks:

• The Network_resources_used property must be non-empty and contain the names of existing shared address resources. Every node in the Nodelist of the resource group containing the scalable resource must appear in either the NetIfList property or AuxNodeList property of each of the named shared address resources.

• The RG_dependencies property of the resource group that contains the scalable resource must include the resource groups of all shared address resources listed in the scalable resource's Network_resources_used property.

• The Port_list property must be non-empty and contain a list of port-protocol pairs such that protocol is either tcp or udp. For example, .

  Port_list=80/tcp,40/udp
