Creating an RHCS service using the XP Cluster Extension shared resource
After you create a shared resource, create an RHCS service using the XP Cluster Extension shared
resource.
Configuration overview
1. Create a service at the root of the dependency tree using the XP Cluster Extension shared resource
created in “Creating an RHCS XP Cluster Extension shared resource” on page 95. This ensures
that the XP Cluster Extension resource is the first resource to start in a service. All other resources
in this service should be configured as child resources to XP Cluster Extension. Use one of the
following procedures:

• Using system-config-cluster to create a service, page 98
2. Create a configuration file. For instructions, see Creating the XP Cluster Extension resource
configuration file, page 99.
