Need Help with VCS monitoring a process as a resource

Question

Hey Everyone,
I have a cluster main.cf file as follows:
group BATCH-SG (
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SystemList = { foo = 0, bar = 1 }
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; AutoStartList = { foo }
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OnlineRetryLimit = 3
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; )
	
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IP ip3-RES (
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Device = bond0
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Address = "0.0.0.1"
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NetMask = "255.255.254.0"
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; )
	
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NIC nic1-RES (
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Device = bond0
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; )
	
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessOnOnly DB_Watchdog-RES (
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PathName = "/app/watchdog/bin/db-watchdog-wrapper"
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UserName = ezbatch
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; )
	
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessOnOnly NAS_Watchdog-RES (
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PathName = "/app/watchdog/bin/nas-watchdog-wrapper"
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UserName = ezbatch
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; )
	
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; requires group Cluster_Storage-SG online local firm
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ip3-RES requires nic1-RES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // resource dependency tree
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; group BATCH-SG
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessOnOnly DB_Watchdog-RES
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessOnOnly NAS_Watchdog-RES
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IP ip3-RES
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NIC nic1-RES
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
	&nbsp;
I'm trying to set it up so that when either of the ProcessOnOnlys die, the group dies and VCS initiates a failover. However when either of the watchdogs exit with status 100, VCS just restarts them. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Ah, just seen you have OnlineRetryLimit set on group so you need to set this to zero:
&nbsp;
haconf -makerw
hagrp -modify  BATCH-SG OnlineRetryLimit 0
haconf -dump -makero
Then VCS will failover group.

Check the value of RestartLimit:
hatype -display ProcessOnOnly -attribute RestartLimit
If this is non-zero then you need to set it to zero if you don't want VCS to restart and failover straightaway:
hatype -modify ProcessOnOnly RestartLimit 0
