Setting HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource properties using the Microsoft
Failover PowerShell Cmdlets
The cluster commands in this section can be used with Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012,
Server Core, or Hyper-V Server. The Windows cluster default properties for a resource can be
changed using the command: Get-ClusterResource "resource_name" |
Set-ClusterParameter -Name "property_name" -Value "value_to_set"
NOTE: When you configure HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource properties using the
PowerShell, the properties you enter are not validated, so you must enter the property values
accurately, and verify them against the HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension documentation.
The following example sets the UseNonCurrentDataOk property for the resource
clx_fileshare to NO
Get-ClusterResource "clx_fileshare" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"UseNonCurrentDataOk" -Value NO
For more information on the available properties, see “User configuration file and HP 3PAR StoreServ
Cluster Extension objects” (page 49)
Setting HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension properties using a UCF
You can use a UCF to configure certain HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension properties. Properties
that you can configure in a UCF include:
• LogLevel
• ClusterNotifyCheckTime
• ClusterNotifyWaitTime
• StatusRefreshTime
• HP3PARCLICommandTimeout
• HP3PARCLIRetryCount
IMPORTANT: If you plan to use the default values for these properties, no UCF is required.
To configure properties using a UCF:
1. Take the HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource offline.
2. Open the sample UCF.cfg file located in %ProgramFiles%\Hewlett-Packard\Cluster
Extension 3PAR\sample.
3. Update the file with the property values you want to use.
For more information on the available properties, see “User configuration file and HP 3PAR
StoreServ Cluster Extension objects” (page 49).
4. Save the file and copy it to the following directory on all cluster nodes: %ProgramFiles%\
Hewlett-Packard\Cluster Extension 3PAR\conf.
5. Bring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource online.
