A question about resource dependency

Hello all,

I'd appreciate your help with the following newbie question -

• I've upgraded my application server software
• The new app server binaries are stored on /opt/app_new
• before the upgrade it was /opt/app - which now 100% unused and can be removed
• The old mount point /opt/app is still mounted on the active server but deleted from the passive node (dir does not exist)
• The cluster is still configured with mount resources for BOTH file systems
• The application resources (startup scripts) are still configured to depend on BOTH the mount resources
• The startup scripts are stored are stored in /usr and not in any of the above mentioned file systems

 

In this scenario, will my cluster failover to the passive node and start the app server successfully? 

A different way to ask the same question - if a child resource failed to start, will VCS stop there or will it try and start a parent resource?

 

Thanks in advance!
