HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2442, July 2013)

Changing a HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource name
This section describes how to change a HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource name.
In this procedure, you use the Failover Cluster Management GUI to change a resource name. For
Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use the MMC or Powershell Cmdlets to run the Failover Cluster
Management GUI from a remote node or use cluster commands in the CLI to change the resource
name. See “Setting HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource properties using the CLI”
(page 36) or “Setting HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource properties using the Microsoft
Failover PowerShell Cmdlets” (page 37) for instructions.
1. Open Failover Cluster Management.
2. Open the resource Properties window and click the General tab.
3. Enter a new name in the Resource Name field.
4. Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
Configuring HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resources
HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource properties are configured using the Failover Cluster
Management GUI, or cluster commands in the CLI.
• For information about Microsoft Failover Cluster Service properties that affect HP 3PAR StoreServ
Cluster Extension, see “Setting Microsoft cluster-specific resource and service or application
properties” (page 26).
• For information on HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension-specific properties, see “Setting HP
3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension-specific resource properties” (page 29).
Before configuring HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resources, review the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Cluster Extension objects described in “User configuration file and HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster
Extension objects” (page 49).
NOTE: You do not have to configure resources of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM
Management". Only resources of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR" needs to be configured for the
storage disks.
When configuring HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resources, note the following:
• If the Failover Cluster Management GUI is used to configure a HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster
Extension resource, configuring the resource using a user configuration file (UCF file) is not
required.
• HP 3PAR StoreServ 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 only: If a HP 3PAR StoreServ 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 StoreServ 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.
Setting Microsoft cluster-specific resource and service or application
properties
Microsoft allows you to set specific failover parameter and threshold values for a service or
application, and for a resource. Some of these values must be changed for HP 3PAR StoreServ
Cluster Extension to enable manual recovery actions in case of a disaster.
