| Type | Select the type of dependency for the parent-child service group pair. By default, it is set to soft. You can also use other two types of dependencies, namely, firm and restart. |
| The fault propagation behavior of three policies is listed below: | |
| - Soft: When the child faults or recovers from the fault, the parent ignores the events. The parent does not take any action. This type of dependency is used when only start or stop ordering is required, and no fault policy action is needed. In addition , Soft dependency also allows you to configure script execution. If script execution is configured, the script is executed on the parent tier when the child recovers from a fault. | |
| - Firm: When the child faults, the parent is taken offline. When the child recovers, the parent is brought online. | |
| - Restart: When the child faults, the parent ignores the event. When the child recovers, the parent is taken offline, and then brought online. |
