Most environments only need a single resource group. Also most rgs consist of Service IP, application server, and shared/data volume groups.
The default processing order of the resources within a resource group (in summary of those resources listed above) are:
Add Service IP
varyon volume group (fsck filesytems, mount filesystems)
start application
This is usually suitable for most environments. In those environments that are also using NFS as a resource, then it is common to set the rg option to mount fs before IP. That reverses the order processed of for the first couple resources. The application is always started last.
