Resource Hierarchies - SIOS

Creating Your Resource Hierarchy
Creating Your Resource Hierarchy
Now you are ready to create the Generic Application resource hierarchy using the modified scripts.
1. Select the server, and then select Create Resource Hierarchy from the server context
menu or server context toolbar.
2. The Create Protect Application window appears displaying the Primary and Backup
Servers in your cluster. If not already selected, choose the appropriate systems to configure.
Click Next.
3. A dialog appears with a list of all recognized recovery kits installed within the cluster. Select
Generic Application and click Next.
4. The Configuration Wizard will prompt you to enter the following information. Note: When the
Back button is active in any of the dialog boxes, you can go back to the previous dialog box.
This is especially helpful should you encounter an error that might require you to correct
previously entered information. If you click Cancel at any time during the sequence of creating
your hierarchy, SPS will cancel the entire creation process.

already started.

the command that stops the application. A template remove script is provided in
