Fields

Available nodes

Select each node that you want to participate in the new resource group and then click > to move the node to the Participating nodes list. Select nodes in order of priority, from top to bottom, for handling failover during a node failure.
Participating nodes (in priority order)
Lists all cluster nodes that are currently participating in the specified resource group. The nodes in this list are either the nodes that were configured for the resource group when it was created, or the nodes that were selected for the resource group from the Available nodes list.

You can remove a node from the resource group by selecting the node and then clicking the < to move the node to back to the Available nodes list. To change the priority of a node, select it in the list, and then click the appropriate arrow that is 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.
