HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-0986, June 2011)

Adding a P6000 Cluster Extension resource using the Failover Cluster
Management GUI (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2)
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 P6000 Cluster Extension resource using the Microsoft CLI
cluster commands.
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.
Adding a P6000 Cluster Extension resource using the Microsoft CLI cluster
commands
You can use the cluster commands in this section with Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008/
2008 R2, Server Core, and Hyper-V Server.
Use the following command to add a P6000 Cluster Extension resource:
cluster resource resource_name /create /group:service_or_application_name
/type:"Cluster Extension EVA"
Example
This command adds a P6000 Cluster Extension resource called clx_fileshare to the CLX_SHARE
service or application.
cluster resource clx_fileshare /create /group:CLX_SHARE /type:"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.
2. Make every physical disk resource in the cluster service or application depend on both (all)
resources within the cluster service or application. This ensures that any disk in the cluster service
or application can go online only if both (all) DR groups are failed over correctly.
NOTE:
This configuration is the same one used for a Managed Set in Replication Solution Manager (RSM).
Failover of both DR groups will be initiated and processed simultaneously. The property settings for
both (all) resources in a single cluster service or application should be identical, excluding the DR
group name property.
