The scsetup(1M) utility is a menu-driven interface that you can use for general Sun Cluster administration. You can also use this utility to configure data service resources and resource groups. Select option 2 from the scsetup main menu to launch the Resource Group Manager submenu.
You can use the scrgadm command to register and configure data service resources. See the procedure for how to register and configure your data service in the book for the data service.
