6. After the manual failover completes, execute the PING command again.
As soon as the other node brings the cluster group online, a response similar to
the one noted in step 4 should be returned. If the client successfully accessed the
failed-over IP address resource, the cluster is working. If the client was
unsuccessful, either the cluster group was not configured correctly, the failover
did not occur, or the PING command was performed before the failover activity
completed.
7. If network client failover is not working correctly, refer to the installation
troubleshooting tips in Chapter 6.
8. If you want to verify a more extreme case, rather than failover the IP address
resource, power off the primary cluster node and verify that the resource fails
over to the other node.
Setting Up Cluster Groups and Cluster Resources
The clustering hardware is now set up and configured. The Microsoft operating
system with Microsoft cluster software is installed on both servers. You have done
minimal validation of the cluster and everything is working as planned. Now it is
time to set up the applications to use the capabilities of clustering.
If you have defined your cluster needs correctly and determined how to fit the
applications and environment into a cluster, then configuring the applications will be
a straightforward task.
Although details of these procedures are beyond the scope of this guide, several
documents are available from both Microsoft and Compaq to assist you with these
final steps.
The best source of information concerning the steps to configure cluster groups and
cluster resources is the Microsoft Cluster Server Administrator Guide, which
provides detailed setup information.
