Enhanced Inter-Resource-Group Dependencies and Inter-Resource Dependencies

This release introduces the following features for configuring relationships between resources and resource groups:

• Restart dependency between resources

• Ability for inter-resource dependencies to span resource groups

• Resource group state PENDING_ONLINE_BLOCKED

• Resource group property RG_affinities for defining affinities between resource groups

To ease the management of configurations in which affinities between resource groups are defined, the scswitch (1M) command has been enhanced as follows:

• Options for bringing resource groups online enforce affinities between resource groups

• The option for evacuating a node switches all resource groups offline from the evacuating node in parallel.

• An option has been introduced to prevent any resource group from failing over back to any evacuated node for a specified period.
