HP EVA Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2445, July 2013)

Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource using the Failover Cluster Management
GUI (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012)
Use the procedure in this section to add a resource using the Failover Cluster Management GUI.
For instructions on using the CLI, see “Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource using the Microsoft
CLI cluster commands” (page 22).
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 EVA.
NOTE: This step is applicable for creating CLX resources for non-CSV disks on Windows Server
2008/2008 R2/2012. Using Failover Cluster Management GUI, CLX resource cannot be added
for the CSV disk. For more information about configuring CLX resource for CSV disk on Windows
Server 2012, see “Configuration of EVA CLX for CSV disk on Windows Server 2012” (page 39)
.
Adding a Cluster Extension EVA resource using the Microsoft CLI cluster commands
Use the following command to add a Cluster Extension EVA resource:
cluster resource resource_name /create /group:service_or_application_name
/type:"Cluster Extension EVA"
Example
This command adds a Cluster Extension EVA resource called clx_fileshare to the CLX_SHARE
service or application.
cluster resource clx_fileshare /create /group:CLX_SHARE /type:"Cluster
Extension EVA"
Alternatively, you can use the following powershell cmdlet to add a Cluster Extension EVA resource:
Add-ClusterResource -Name clx_fileshare -ResourceType "Cluster Extension
EVA" -Group CLX_SHARE
Adding Cluster Extension EVA resource using the Microsoft Failover Cluster PowerShell
Cmdlets
NOTE: If the Failover Cluster feature is enabled on Windows Server 2012 Server Core, then the
Failover Cluster PowerShell interface is not enabled by default. You must explicitly enable this
feature to use the PowerShell Cmdlets.
Use the following command to add Cluster Extension EVA resource:
Add-ClusterResource -Name "resource_name" -Group
“service_or_application_name” -ResourceType "Cluster Extension EVA"
Example:
This command adds a Cluster Extension EVA resource called clx_fileshare to the CLX_SHARE
service or application.
Add-ClusterResource -Name "clx_fileshare" -Group “CLX_SHARE”
-ResourceType "Cluster Extension EVA"
Configuring more than one resource in a service or application
Use the following procedure if you plan to create more than one resource in a service or application:
1. Create two (or more) DR groups and create a resource for each DR group.
