Service Status

The status of a service with a desired state of ACTIVE is determined by the status of its members. The failure of some members can stop a service, while the failure of other members might only degrade the service. You can distinguish between a failed service and a degraded service and respond accordingly. You specify the importance of a member to the service in the service definition.
