Fields

Name
This field specifies the unique name of the selected resource group.
Available nodes
Available nodes lists all discovered cluster nodes within the chosen cluster. Select each node that you want to participate in the new resource group, then click > to move the node to the Participating nodes list. Select nodes in order of priority, from top to bottom, for handling failover in case of a node failure.
Participating nodes (in priority order)
Participating nodes lists all cluster nodes that are currently participating in the specified resource group. The nodes in this list are either ones that were configured for the resource group when it was created, or ones that you have selected for the resource group from the Available nodes list. You can remove a node from the resource group by selecting the node, then clicking the < to move the node to back to Available nodes. To change the order of priority of a node, select it in the list and click the appropriate arrow next to the list to move the node up or down in the list.
Note: There must be at least one participating node; however, two or more nodes are necessary to make a resource group highly available.
Other Resource Group Settings

This field specifies that all PowerHA™ SystemMirror application servers in the current resource group are to run in the specified WPAR. In addition, all service label and file system resources that are part of this resource group are assigned to the specified WPAR.
