Description
Error Message
There are no error messages reported.
However, when a child service group is auto-started, the parallel parent service groups, that have a online-global dependency, are not auto-started.
Cause
When a child service group is auto-started, parallel parent service groups that have an online-global dependency are not auto-started on the systems in the parent service group's AutoStartList attribute. For online-local dependency, VCS performs a validation that ensures that the parent service group is auto-started only on nodes where the child service group has auto-started. This restricts the parallel parent service groups having online-global dependency to auto-start on all nodes.
Resolution
To address this issue, set the service group's AutoRestart attribute to 2 if the service group has persistent resource. When the persistent resource of the service group recovers from fault, VCS clears the fault for the resources and tries to restart the service group.
