Enter any mount Options to use.
*
Optionally choose to Force unmount the filesystem, Reboot the host node if unmount fails, and/or Check the file system before mounting.
NOTE A MySQL resource can be created in one of two ways. Follow only one of 6a or 6b:

*
Under the above filesystem resource, click Add a child.
*
Under Add a new local resource, select MySQL.
*
Enter a descriptive Name for the resource.
*
Enter the path to the Config File, such as /etc/my.cnf. See the above section on Configuring MySQL to Use Shared Storage for details.
*
Enter a Listen Address. In most situations this should match the IP address that was created as a resource in step #3.
*
Optionally enter any Options that should be passed to the mysqld daemon.
*
Optionally enter a Shutdown Wait in seconds. This determines the length of time that rgmanager will wait while stopping the resource before determining something has gone wrong and throwing an error.
6b. Add a script resource
*
Under the above filesystem resource, click Add a child.
*
Under Add a new local resource, select Script.
*
Enter a descriptive name for the resource.
