Yes: Enabled defaults to 0, because until you have the attributes for a resource configured the monitor will almost surely fail because it doesn't have sufficient information to check the status, and this is extremely inconvenient while you are trying to configure the resource. In the period between creating the resource and having it configured enough for successful monitoring, you really don't want VCS trying to monitor it.
Critical defaults to 1 because once you have enabled the resource, you will probably want it to be Critical - it would be easy to forget to change it to Critical if that was something you were required to do, and then you might not notice the problem until the first time a resource faulted and did NOT failover as you probably expected it to do. -- John Cronin 678-480-6266 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Grieco Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 12:22 PM To: Fred Grieco; Jim Senicka; veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-ha] Proxy resource in "status unknown" This started when I copied the resource from another service group.
