Extending a Generic Application Resource Hierarchy

This operation can be started automatically upon completing the  Create Resource Hierarchy option, or you can initiate it from the Edit menu.

  1. On the Edit menu, select Resource, then Extend Resource Hierarchy. The Pre-Extend Wizard appears. The Accept Defaults button is intended for the user who is familiar with the LifeKeeper Extend Resource Hierarchy defaults, and wants to quickly extend a LifeKeeper resource hierarchy without being prompted for input or confirmation. Users who prefer using the interactive, step-by-step interface of the GUI dialogs should use the Next button as described below. Click Help for an explanation of each choice.

  2. Select the Template Server (the server you are extending from) then click Next.

  3. Select the Tag to Extend, then click Next.

  4. Select the Target Server (the server you are extending to), then click Next.

  5. Select either intelligent or automatic for Switchback Type, then click Next.

  6. Either select the default or enter your own Template Priority, then click Next.

  7. Either select or enter your own Target Priority, then click Next. A window will display the pre-extend checks that occur next.

  8. Select the Root Tag that LifeKeeper offers, or enter your own tag for the resource hierarchy on the target server, then click Next.

  9. Enter any Application Information next (optional), then click Next. A window displays the status of the extend operation, which should result with the hierarchy successfully extended.

  10. Click Next Server if you want to extend the same resource hierarchy to a different server. This will repeat the extend operation. Or click Finish to complete this operation.

  11. A window displays the verification information, and when it is finished, click Done.
