| Resources within groups
A Group can be ‘owned’ by only one system at a time. Groups can be failed over or moved from one system to another as atomic units. Individual resources within a Group must be present on the system which currently ‘owns’ the Group. Therefore, at any given instance, different resources within the same group cannot be owned by different systems across the cluster. Each group has an associated cluster-wide policy that specifies which system the group prefers to run on, and which system the group should move to in case of a failure. In the first release, every Group will have its own network service name and address, used by clients to bind to services provided by resources within the Group. Future releases will use a dynamic directory service to eliminate the requirement for a network service name per Group.
