HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

Properties that you can configure in a UCF include:
• LogLevel
• ClusterNotifyCheckTime
• ClusterNotifyWaitTime
• LocalDCLMForNonPAIRDG
• StatusRefreshInterval
IMPORTANT: If you plan to use the default values for these properties, no UCF is required.
To configure properties using a UCF:
1. Take the XP Cluster Extension resource offline.
2. Open the sample UCF.cfg file located in %HPCLX_PATH%\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 XP Cluster
Extension objects” (page 47).
4. Save the file and copy it to the following directory on all cluster nodes: %HPCLX_PATH%\
conf.
5. Bring the XP Cluster Extension resource online.
Adding dependencies on XP Cluster Extension resource
XP Cluster Extension Software must be the first resource in the resource chain of a MSFC 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 XP Cluster Extension 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 XP Cluster Extension resource.
3. Double-click a disk in the summary pane.
4. Click the Dependencies tab, and then click Insert.
5. Select the XP Cluster Extension resource in the Resource menu.
