Linking service groups in a cluster

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can link a dependent pair of service groups in a cluster.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the service group or the Availability perspective. The permission on the service group may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization or cluster.
Note: Before you perform this task, you need to open the cluster configuration if the configuration is not already open.
