1. A method comprising performing a machine-executed operation involving instructions for clusterware management of resources that operate in a cluster of computing nodes, and wherein said instructions are instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform certain steps comprising: while said clusterware is managing a particular resource according to a first resource management behavior based on a first value of a particular attribute of said particular resource, allowing a change to said particular attribute of said particular resource from said first value to a second value; and in response to said change to said particular attribute, said clusterware beginning to manage said particular resource according to a second resource management behavior based on said second value of said particular attribute; wherein the machine-executed operation is at least one of (a) sending said instructions over transmission media, (b) receiving said instructions over transmission media, (c) storing said instructions onto a machine-readable storage medium, and (d) executing the instructions.
