To configure properties using a UCF:
1. Take the Cluster Extension EVA resource offline.
2. Open the sample UCF.cfg file located in %ProgramFiles%\Hewlett-Packard\Cluster
Extension EVA\sample.
3. Update the file with the property values you want to use.
For more information on the available properties, see “User configuration file and EVA Cluster
Extension objects” (page 48).
4. Save the file and copy it to the following directory on all cluster nodes: %ProgramFiles%\
Hewlett-Packard\Cluster Extension EVA\conf.
5. Bring the Cluster Extension EVA resource online.
Adding dependencies on a Cluster Extension EVA resource
EVA Cluster Extension Software must be the first resource in the resource chain of a MSCS service
or application. All resources that depend on the disk resource, such as a file share, and all disk
resources (physical disks), must be configured for dependency on the Cluster Extension EVA
resource.
When adding dependencies:
• For Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012, use the Failover Cluster Management GUI, cluster
commands in the CLI, or the MMC for remote management.
• For Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use cluster commands in the CLI or the MMC.
Adding dependencies using Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server
2008/2008 R2/2012)
You can add dependencies with the GUI on a local node or by using the MMC to run the Failover
Cluster Management application.
1. Open Failover Cluster Management.
2. Select a service or application that has Cluster Extension EVA resource.
3. Double-click a disk in the summary pane.
4. Click the Dependencies tab, and then click Insert.
5. Select the Cluster Extension EVA resource in the Resource menu.
