5. Either select or enter your own Target Priority, then click Next.
6. The dialog will then display the pre-extend checks that occur next. If these tests succeed,
LifeKeeper goes on to perform any steps that are needed for the specific type of resource that
you are extending.
The Accept Defaults button which is available for the Extend Resource Hierarchy option is
intended for the user who is familiar with the LifeKeeper Extend Resource Hierarchy defaults, and
wants to quickly extend a LifeKeeper resource hierarchy without being prompted for input or
confirmation. Users who prefer to extend a LifeKeeper resource hierarchy using the interactive, step-
by-step interface of the GUI dialogs should use the Next button.
Note: ALL roots in a multi-root hierarchy must be extended together, that is, they may not be
extended as single root hierarchies.
Note: For command line instructions, seeExtending the SAP Resource from the Command Line in
the SAP Documentation.
Extending a File System Resource Hierarchy
This operation can be started automatically after you have finished creating a file system resource
hierarchy, or from an existing file system resource, as described in the section on extending resource
hierarchies. After you have done that, you then complete the steps below, which are specific to file
system resources.
1. The Extend gen/filesys Resource Hierarchy dialog box appears. Select the Mount Point for
the file system hierarchy, then click Next.
2. Select the Root Tag that LifeKeeper offers, or enter your own tag for the resource hierarchy on
the target server, then click Next.
3. The dialog displays the status of the extend operation, which should finish with a message
saying that the hierarchy has been successfully extended. Click Next Server if you want to
extend the same resource hierarchy to a different server. This will repeat the extend operation.
Or click Finish to complete this operation.
4. The dialog then displays verification information as the extended hierarchy is validated. When
this is finished, the Done button will be enabled. Click Done to finish.
Extending a Generic Application Resource Hierarchy
This operation can be started automatically after you have finished creating a generic application
resource hierarchy, or from an existing generic application resource, as described in the section on
