Field Description
Name Enter a name for the service group. The name must be unique among the service groups in the cluster.
The name that you enter must start with a letter. The name of the service group can contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores.
Type Select the type of the service group. The available options are \:
- Failover - Runs on one system at a time. Failover groups are used for most applications that do not support multiple systems to simultaneously access the application's data.
- Parallel - Runs simultaneously on more than one system in the cluster. Parallel service groups are appropriate for the applications that manage multiple application instances running simultaneously without data corruption.
- Hybrid - A combination of the failover and parallel service groups. It behaves as a failover group within a system zone and a parallel group across system zones. The hybrid service groups are used for replicated data clusters.
