The Microsoft Cluster Administrator provides a Wizard to create a resource. The Cluster Administrator also includes Microsoft documentation describing how to create resources.

However, there are some special considerations for configuring a CIMPLICITY resource.

Note: Your configuration can be modified after the resource is created through the CIMPLICITY Project Resource dialog box.

CIMPLICITY configuration in each of the Wizard dialog boxes is as follows.

	Open the Resource Wizard.
	Define a new CIMPLICITY resource.
	Select possible CIMPLICITY project owners.
	Select CIMPLICITY project dependencies.
	Select the CIMPLICITY project for the resource.
	Finish creating the resource.

1. Open the Resource Wizard

Do any of the following.

1	Click File>New>Resource on the Cluster Administrator menu bar.
2	Right-click a group. Select New>Resource on the Popup menu.
3	Right-click a resource. Select New>Resource on the Popup menu.
4	Select a group or resource. Press Ctrl+N on the keyboard.

Result: The New Resource dialog box opens.

2. Define a new CIMPLICITY resource.

Configuration for the CIMPLICITY project resource is as follows.

Field	Description
Name	Any name is acceptable for the resource.
Description	(Optional) A description can help identify the resource.
Resource type	(Required) Select CIMPLICITY Project.
Group	The selected group displays. Any other group can be selected.

3. Select possible CIMPLICITY project owners.

Add the nodes that have access to the CIMPLICITY project's shared drive to the Possible owners box.

Click Next.

4. Select CIMPLICITY project dependencies.

Note: The options available for dependencies depend on what group or resource you selected before you open the wizard.

(Required) Add the shared drive with the project that will be selected for the resource.

(Optional) Add the cluster name.

Note: If you add the cluster name and want to move the resource, you can keep the same IP address.

Click Next.

5. Select the CIMPLICITY project for the resource.

Enter the project path and name in the Project field.
