For Server Core or Hyper-V Server also, cluster commands and PowerShell Cmdlets can be
used as mentioned in the first bullet.
CAUTION: Do not use the following characters in Cluster Extension resource names: \ / : * ? "

Adding HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource using the Failover Cluster
Management GUI
Use the procedure in this section to add a resource using the Failover Cluster Management GUI.
For instructions on using the CLI, see “Adding HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension resource using
cluster.exe” (page 31).
1. Add a service or application in the Failover Cluster Management GUI, as described in your
Microsoft documentation.
2. Right-click the service or application and select Add a resource > More resources > Add Cluster
Extension 3PAR.
NOTE: This step is applicable for creating CLX resources for non CSV disks on Windows Server
2003/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2. Using Failover Cluster Management GUI, we cannot
add CLX resource for the CSV disk. See “Configuration of HP 3PAR StoreServ CLX for CSV disk
on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2” (page 47) for configuring CLX resource for CSV disk on
Windows Server 2012/2012 R2.
