Adding HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource using the Microsoft CLI cluster commands
You can use the cluster commands in this section with Windows Server 2003, Windows Server
2008/ 2008 R2, Server Core, and Hyper-V Server.
Use the following command to add an HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource:
cluster resource resource_name /create /group:service_or_application_name
/type:"Cluster Extension 3PAR"
Example
This command adds an HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource called clx_fileshare to the
CLX_SHARE service or application.
cluster resource clx_fileshare /create /group:CLX_SHARE /type:"Cluster
Extension 3PAR"
Configuring more than one resource in a service or application
To create more than one HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource in a service or application:
1. Create two (or more) Remote Copy volume groups and create a resource for each Remote
Copy volume group.
2. Make every physical disk resource in the cluster service or application depend on both (all)
resources within the cluster service or application. This ensures that any disk in the cluster
service or application can go online only if both (all) Remote Copy volume groups are failed
over correctly.
