Which process should I choose?

You can use the guided or assisted process to create one or more customized resource groups.

Use the guided process to create a customized resource group. You can choose nodes, policies, and add resources such as application controllers, application monitors, service IP addresses, volume groups, and replicated mirror groups to the clusters for use by the applications. You can customize the startup, fallover, and fallback policies to fit the needs of the application. You can also configure the settling time, the distribution policy that affects the resource group startup, and the delayed fallback timer that affects the resource group fallback.

Use the assisted process to create a customized resource group by using a predefined template that is based on best practices, called an application assistant, for each instance of an application (such as a DB2® or Oracle or a WebSphere® component). The application assistants must be installed on every node that the resource group is to be configured on. Custom information might be requested specific to each application type, such as node names, service IP labels, or volume groups.
