<h1 class="topictitle1">Resilient resources</h1>
<div><p><dfn class="term">Resilient resources</dfn> are system resources, such as
data, devices and applications, that are highly available if you have used
clustering on your systems.</p>
<div class="section"><p>If a cluster node that is the primary access point for a particular
set of resilient resources in the cluster should incur an outage, another
cluster node that is defined as the backup for that set of resources now becomes
the access point.</p>
<p>The types of system resources that can be resilient
are:</p>
</div>
<ol><li><span>Data being replicated between nodes.</span></li>
<li><span>Applications using an IP address, which can be switched from one
node to another.</span></li>
<li><span>Hardware devices which can be switched from one node to another.</span></li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span>Peer resources that are supported by a cluster administrative
domain.</span><img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>The definition of the relationship between the nodes that are associated
with a set of resilient resources is found in the <dfn class="term">cluster resource group
(CRG)</dfn> object. Cluster resource groups are replicated and coordinated
across the nodes in the cluster through cluster resource services.</p>

A <dfn class="term">resilient application</dfn> is an application
that can be restarted on a different cluster node without requiring you to
reconfigure the clients.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaigconceptsresilientdata.htm">Resilient data</a></strong><br />
<dfn class="term">Resilient data </dfn> is data that is replicated
