Cluster Server components are configured using the attributes of these components. Attributes contain data about the cluster, systems, service groups, resources, resource types, agent, and heartbeats. For example, the value of a service group's SystemList attribute specifies on which systems the group is configured and the priority of each system within the group. Each attribute has a definition and a value. Attributes also have default values assigned when a value is not specified.

In the Management Server console, you can view the attributes of the Availability objects such as clusters, service groups, systems, resources, and resource types. You can edit the values of the attributes that have an edit icon against the attribute-name.
