Configuring HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resources
HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource properties are configured using the Cluster Administrator
(Windows Server 2003) or Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2) GUI,
or cluster commands in the CLI.
• For information about MSCS and Microsoft Failover Cluster Service properties that affect HP
3PAR Cluster Extension, see “Setting Microsoft cluster-specific resource and service or
application properties” (page 30).
• For information on HP 3PAR Cluster Extension-specific properties, see “Setting HP 3PAR Cluster
Extension-specific resource properties” (page 32).
Before configuring HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resources, review the HP 3PAR Cluster Extension
objects described in “User configuration file and HP 3PAR Cluster Extension objects” (page 63).
When configuring HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resources, note the following:
• If the Cluster Administrator or Failover Cluster Management GUI is used to configure a HP
3PAR Cluster Extension resource, configuring the resource using a user configuration file (UCF
file) is not required.
• HP 3PAR Cluster Extension creates a file called resource_name.online to indicate that
the HP 3PAR resource is online on the local node. This file is created in the directory specified
by the ApplicationDir resource property. If the resource is taken offline, this file is deleted.
• Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 only: If a HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource is not
configured, the resource icon in the Failover Cluster Management GUI shows the message
“not configured” next to the resource status.
• The HP 3PAR Cluster Extension resource must be the first resource for all other disk resources.
• The resource's PendingTimeout value must be equal to or greater than the value specified for
the ResyncWaitTimeout attribute.
