HP ProLiant Storage Server User Guide (440584-003, September 2007)

NOTE:
• A file shar e resource must reside in the same cluster group as the physical disk resource it will
reside on.
• Thephysicaldiskresourcespecified in this step must reside in the same cluster group as specified in
the beginning of this wizar d.
Creating NFS share resources
T o create an NFS share resource, see “MSNFS administration on a server cluster” on page 116.
Shadow copies in a cluster
It is recommended that the location of the cache file be placed on a separate disk from the original data.
In this case, a physical disk resource for the cache file disk should be created in the same cluster group
as the intended Shadow Copy resource and the volume for which snapshots will be enabled. The
resource should be created p rior to the establishment of Shadow Copies. The Shadow Copy resource
should be dependent on both the original physical disk resource and the physical disk resource that
contains the cache file.
For more information, see the following topics in the clustering online help:
• Using Shadow Copies of Shared Folders in a server cluster
• Enable Shadow Copies for shared folders in a cluster
