but prevent the resource from coming online if the resource group moves from
the offline state to the online state on a node.
| WHEN_DISABLED
| Overwrite the previous versions of the methods.

Update the methods and add new properties to the RTR file. New methods
do not require new properties.

with the old Init method.

| Place the updated methods in a different path than the old methods.
|
Update the methods. No changes are made to the RTR file.
| Not applicable. No changes are made to the RTR file.

changes to the RTR file, the resource does not need to be registered or upgraded.
