View or Change Resource Priorities

Use this property page to view or change the load priority of individual cluster resources.

This option allows you to control the order in which multiple resources start on a given node when the cluster is brought up or during a failover or failback. For example, if a node fails and two resources failover to another node, the resource priority will determine which resource loads first.

This is useful for ensuring that the most critical resources load first and are available to users before less critical resources.

To change the priority for a resource, highlight the resource in the list by clicking on it and then click the Increase or Decrease button to move the resource up or down in the list. This lets you change the load order of the resource relative to other cluster resources on the same node.

You can also highlight a resource and then click the Selected button to reset the resource back to its default load order.

Click the Apply button to save changes made to resource priorities.
