APPLICATION objects
The APPLICATION section defines the failback behavior of HP 3PAR Cluster Extension for each
application service. APPLICATION is a multitag that can appear in the configuration file for each
application service using HP 3PAR Cluster Extension.
The APPLICATION object requires the name of the application service as its value. The objects
specified after an APPLICATION tag must appear only once per application. As with COMMON
objects, APPLICATION objects have predefined default values.
HP 3PAR Cluster Extension uses the following rules to define objects:
• If you use the default value, you do not need to specify the object.
• The pre-execution and post-execution functions in HP 3PAR Cluster Extension will not be
processed if the associated object values are empty. This is the default setting.
To set APPLICATION object values for the CLI, modify the user configuration file.
To set APPLICATION object values for MSCS, use the MSCS Cluster Administrator GUI (Windows
Server 2003) or Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2)

of the application service. The format of its value is equivalent to a string value.
ApplicationDir
Format String
Description Specifies the directory where HP 3PAR Cluster Extension searches for
application-specific files, such as the force flag or online file.
If ApplicationDir is set to a nonexistent drive, HP 3PAR Cluster Extension is unable

Windows
If ApplicationDir is not set, HP 3PAR Cluster Extension uses the local
%HPCLX_3PAR_PATH% values as defined in the registry.

Extension resource name.
