HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide

You must reboot the server(s) on the destination storage system or re-scan the disks in the Disk
Manager before and after installing the cluster software, and when you add storage in read-only
mode on the destination side.
2. Enable Microsoft Failover Cluster feature on all nodes and create the failover cluster using the
nodes.
NOTE: For Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, Failover Cluster Command Interface feature
(cluster.exe) is not installed by default when Failover Cluster feature is enabled. You need
to enable Failover Cluster Command Interface feature for cluster.exe to function. However,
cluster.exe is not required for CLX to function in Windows Server 2012/2012 R2.
In Server Core Cluster environment, enable RSAT-Clustering-PowerShell, [Display name Failover
Cluster Module for Windows PowerShell] for CLX installer to function.
3. Select the CLX supported Microsoft Failover Cluster Quorum model.
Quorum configuration which includes disk witness is not supported by HP 3PAR StoreServ
Cluster Extension.
4. Run the Microsoft Cluster Validation Tool to validate your cluster.
If the Failover Cluster Validation Report lists a failed storage test, you can ignore this error.
For more information, see the following Microsoft TechNet document: http://
technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/b153c638-ff53-4470-8b72-010046b8dcc6.aspx.
After the cluster software is installed, you can install HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension
Software on all cluster nodes that have an FC connection to the local or remote 3PAR StoreServ
Storage and are used to access storage resources on the 3PAR StoreServ Storage. For
installation instructions, follow the procedure in “Installing HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension
Software” (page 11).
If the system that acts as an arbitrator or tiebreaker is not connected to either 3PAR StoreServ
Storage, you do not need to install the software on that cluster node.
