Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource
IMPORTANT: In Failover Cluster Management for Windows 2012, the term services and
applications for resource groups is changed to roles. In this guide, the term services and applications
refers to roles for Windows Server 2012 and services and applications for Windows Server
2008/2008 R2.
To use EVA Cluster Extension, you must add a Cluster Extension EVA resource in the cluster
management application. The procedure to use depends on the installed version of Windows.
• For Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012, use the Failover Cluster Management GUI , or
cluster commands in the CLI, or PowerShell Cmdlets. For instructions, see “Adding a Cluster
Extension EVA resource using the Failover Cluster Management GUI (Windows Server
2008/2008 R2/2012)” (page 22), or “Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource using the
Microsoft CLI cluster commands” (page 22), or “Adding Cluster Extension EVA resource using
the Microsoft Failover Cluster PowerShell Cmdlets” (page 22).
• For Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use cluster commands in the CLI or Microsoft Failover
Cluster PowerShell Cmdlets. See “Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource using the Microsoft
CLI cluster commands” (page 22) for instructions.
Cluster Extension EVA resource names and service and application names must consist of only one
string and cannot include blank spaces; use underscores or hyphens to connect individual words
(for example, CLX_resource, not CLX resource).
