Attaching Resources



Attaching Resources

A resource is a disk drive that is to be accessed individually or an array of disk drives.

When a resource has been attached to one system in a cluster, the resource is automatically attached to the other system.

     When you have chosen the disk number for the new resource, press Enter.
