HP XP Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide

1. Confirm that the resource type is registered with MSFC 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 XP Cluster Extension XP

If the resource type is not registered, use the following cluster command to register:

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

/DLLNAME:clxmscs.dll /TYPE:"Cluster Extension XP".

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

now registered.

b. 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 XP" -Dll

"c:\windows\system32\clxmscs.dll" -DisplayName "Cluster Extension

XP"

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

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

Cluster Administrator GUI functionality by entering:

cluster resourcetype "Cluster Extension XP" /PROPERTIES

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

Cluster Extension XP AdminExtensions {45486A33-D4EA-11D4-9288-0060B0CCC2FD}

If the resource extension DLL is not registered:

a. Enter cluster /REGADMINEXT:clxmscsex.dll. This command must 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.

3. To Check if the resource extension DLL is registered, run the following command:

(Get-ClusterResourceType "Cluster Extension XP").AdminExtensions

If the resource extension DLL is registered, the output includes the GUID of the admin extension:

{45486A33-D4EA-11D4-9288-0060B0CCC2FD}

If the resource extension DLL is not registered

a. Run the command regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\clxmscsex.dll. Run this

command from all the cluster nodes.

b. Run the command on the powerShell environment

(Get-ClusterResourceType "Cluster Extension XP").AdminExtensions

= "{45486A33-D4EA-11D4-9288-0060B0CCC2FD}"

This command should be executed only from one of the cluster nodes.
