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

TIP: To change the properties in “Service or application properties and values” (page 26) with
the CLI, use the following command: cluster group groupname /prop
propertyname="propertyvalue".
Powershell cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe. Use the following command:
Get-ClusterResource "Resource_name" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"property_name" -Value "vale_to_set"

If this value is set to a number higher than the current

either the FailoverThreshold value or the FailoverPeriod
timeout value is reached.
Setting Cluster Extension EVA resource specific properties
Changes to resource properties take effect when the resource is brought online again. For instructions
on changing resource properties, see:
“Setting Cluster Extension EVA resource properties using the GUI” (page 26)

Cmdlets” (page 36)

Setting Cluster Extension EVA resource properties using the GUI
This section describes the procedures for setting Cluster Extension EVA resource properties with a
GUI. You can perform these procedures through the resource configuration utility using the cluster
software GUI (Failover Cluster Management for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012) or the
