HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

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.
To set Microsoft cluster-specific resource properties:
• Use Failover Cluster Manager GUI or Microsoft Failover Cluster Command Line Interface
(cluster.exe) or Microsoft Failover Cluster PowerShell Cmdlets.
• For Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use Microsoft Failover Cluster Command Line Interface
(cluster.exe) or Microsoft Failover Cluster PowerShell Cmdlets.
TIP:
You can use the GUI option for Server Core or Hyper-V Server by using the MMC to manage a
cluster remotely. For more information about using the MMC, see your Microsoft documentation.
HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension requirements for Failover Cluster Management resource
properties are described in Table 1 (page 34). If there is no required value for a property, the
valid and/or default values are specified. Set these properties in the resource properties window
or the CLI. If you use the CLI, use the following command:
cluster.exe resource <ResourceName> /prop PropertyName="PropertyValue".
For PowerShell, use the following command:
Get-ClusterResource "Resource_name" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"property_name" -Value "value_to_set"
For more information about setting resource properties, see your Microsoft documentation.
