6. On the Conrmation page, review the details for each test, and then click Next to
begin the validation process. While the validation process is running, status informa-
tion is continually displayed on the Validating page until all tests are complete. After all
tests are complete, the Summary page is displayed, as shown in Figure 4-4. It includes
the results of the validation tests and numerous details about the information col-
lected during each test. Any errors or warnings listed in the validation results should
be looked into and rectied as soon as possible. It is also possible to proceed without
xing errors; however, the failover cluster will not be supported by Microsoft.

NOTE The Validate A Conguration Wizard is quite useful for troubleshooting a failover
cluster. Administrators who run tests relating to the specic issues they are experiencing
are likely to yield valuable information and answers on how to address their issues. For ex-
ample, if you are experiencing issues with Multipath I/O (MPIO), a specic driver, or shared
storage after a successful implementation of a failover cluster, the wizard would identify
the problem for quick resolution.
