Prerequisites
• Windows Server 2008 only: In certain situations, resources do not follow the Preferred Owners
List order during failover. See the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB950181 for more
information.
• A physical disk resource may unexpectedly fail or go offline when the IsAlive function is run
on a Windows Server 2008 cluster node. See the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB953652
for more information.
• Immediately after installing HP XP Cluster Extension, bringing a resource online might fail with
the error Create process to execute command "horcmstart instance" failed.
This error occurs because the RAID Manager environment path variable value is not reflected
for the HP XP Cluster Extension resource. If you experience this problem, restart the cluster
service on the affected cluster node. After you restart the cluster service, this error message
will not appear again.
• After installing CLX, the RAID manager related path environment variable value does not get
updated to CLX in the Server Core and Hyper-V server environments. To workaround this issue,
either re-login to the Windows session of the cluster nodes or reboot the cluster nodes.
• To enable use of the HP OpenView AutoPass GUI, install the Java Runtime Environment (Java
SE Release families 1.6.0 or later) and set the path environment variable for java.exe.
