Hi Chris, The purpose of these "services" in rgmanager is to define and manage any cluster-wide resource and to make sure that if a node fails, the service continues running somewhere in the cluster. In other words, the ball is handed to any remaining nodes when a failure occurs. Running the service then becomes the responsibility of the entire cluster, or a pre-defined list of nodes in the cluster. See: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FAQ/RGManager#rgm_what and the entries that follow on that page.
