Adding a HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource
IMPORTANT: In Cluster Administrator (Windows Server 2003), resources are added to resource
groups. In Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2), the term resource
groups are changed to services and applications. In this guide, the term services and applications
refers to resource groups for Windows Server 2003 and services and applications for Windows
Server 2008/2008 R2.
To use 3PAR Cluster Extension, you must add an HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource in the cluster
management application. The procedure to use depends on the installed version of Windows.
