HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide (5697-2275, November 2012)

Registering the resource type and resource extension DLL manually

If a problem occurs during installation, execute the following commands from the command line

to register the resource type from any one of the cluster nodes:

1. Confirm that the resource type is registered with MSCS by entering the following cluster

command:

cluster resourcetype

Using PowerShell Cmdlet:

Get-ClusterResourceType

If the resource type is registered, the output includes the following information:

Display Name Resource Type Name

Cluster Extension EVA Cluster Extension EVA

If the resource type is not registered using cluster command:

a. Enter cluster resourcetype "Cluster Extension EVA" /CREATE

/DLLNAME:clxevamscs.dll /TYPE:"Cluster Extension EVA".

b. Run the cluster resourcetype command again to verify that the resource type is

now registered. Powershell cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe to perform

the same operations. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.

Using PowerShell Cmdlet

Add-ClusterResourceType -Name "Cluster Extension EVA" -Dll

"c:\windows\system32\clxevamscs.dll" -DisplayName "Cluster

Extension EVA"

2. Registration of resource extension DLL should not be performed on Server Core environments.

Check whether the cluster administrator extension DLL is registered with MSCS to provide the

Cluster Administrator GUI functionality by entering:

cluster resourcetype "Cluster Extension EVA" /PROPERTIES

If the DLL is registered, the output includes the following information:

Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012, Server Core, or Hyper-V Server:

M Cluster Extension EVA AdminExtensions

{ADD4FC7D-6DF5-40FF-9371-BBFC8619393D}

If the DLL is not registered:

a. Enter cluster /REGADMINEXT:clxevamscsex.dll. This Command should be

executed on all the cluster nodes.

b. Run the cluster resourcetype command again to verify that the DLL is now

registered. Powershell cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe to perform the

same operations. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.
