• The settings on the tabs give general information about the group and define how it performs during failover and failback.
• Every new cluster includes at least one default group: Cluster Group. This group contains the settings for the default cluster and some typical resources that provide generic information and failover policies. Do not delete or rename the Cluster Group or move the resources in it.

  It is important to keep the Cluster Group separate. If another resource is added to this group and the resource fails, it may cause the Cluster Group to fail also, making it impossible to access the cluster using the cluster name.

  If the quorum resource is located in the Cluster Group and that resource group is moved, state change operations for other resource groups will be blocked until the Cluster Group move is completed.

  The availability of the quorum resource takes priority over failover policies set for other resources in the Cluster Group.

• You can use the default groups as templates for creating your own groups. For example, you might add an IP Address resource, Network Name resource, and a Generic Script IIS FTP service resource to Disk Group 1, and then rename the group FTP Group.
