A resource group contains a set of resources, all of which are brought online or offline together on a given node or set of nodes. You must create an empty resource group before you place resources into it.
The two resource group types are failover and scalable. A failover resource group can be online on only one node at any time, while a scalable resource group can be online on multiple nodes simultaneously.
The following procedures explain how to use the clresourcegroup command to create a resource group. See the clresourcegroup(1CL) man page for more information.
