SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to select the "Use Network Name as Computer Name" check box for a
resource, you may receive the following error:
The Cluster resource dependency can not be found.
This error may be generated even if your resource depends on a resource, that in
turn depends on a network name resource.
For example, if the resource being configured above is called "A" and it depends
on a resource called "B", "B" would be the resource that depends on the network
name resource:
A --> B --> Network Name
CAUSE
=====
An indirect dependency, such as that shown above, will not be recognized by the
Cluster Administrator.
RESOLUTION
==========
If one resource uses another, there should be a direct dependency between them.
Note that it is not necessary to add a dependency for something a resource does
not directly use. For example, extending the illustration from above:
A --> B --> Network Name --> IP Address
B does not need a dependency on the IP Address unless it uses the IP address
directly.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
