9.Set the Resource Type as File Share. Select both nodes as possible owners. Set File Share Disk, File Share IP, and File Share NetName as the depen- dencies for XYZ Files. Then type the share name and share path in the Parameters tab.
For example, you can configure y:\groupfiles as share name xyzfiles.
NOTE: When creating a File Share resource in Microsoft Cluster Server, do not use “m” as the share name of the resource. Cluster Server rejects “m” as a File Share resource name.
After bringing both the resources and the group online, users can use Windows NT Explorer to map xyzfiles to a local drive.
Print Spooler Service
The Print Spooler service is a Cluster Server resource type that can be used to provide
The following example procedure describes how to set up the Print Spooler service using a HP LaserJet 5M printer. The procedure differs slightly for different print- ers. Make sure that Microsoft TCP/IP Printing has been installed and the printer is attached to network. Also, keep the printer's IP address and the Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition CD available.
1.Use the New Group wizard to create a new group called “Spool Service.”
2.Use the New Resource wizard to create a disk resource called “Spool Disk” or move an existing
3.Set the Resource Type as Physical Disk. Select both cluster nodes as possible owners and then select a shared disk.
There is no dependency for a physical disk.
4.Use the New Resource wizard to create an IP Address resource called “Spool IP.”
5.Set the Resource Type as IP Address. Select both nodes as possible owners and then type an IP address and the subnet mask for your public LAN.
There is no dependency for IP addresses.
6.Use the New Resource wizard to create a Network Name resource called “Spool NetName.” Set the Resource Type as Network Name. Select both nodes as possible owners. Set Spool IP as the dependency for Spool NetName. Then type a net- work name that will be visible to clients (for example, spoolname).
7.Use the New Resource wizard to create a Print Spooler resource called “X Print.”
8.Set the Resource Type as Print Spooler. Select both nodes as possible owners. Set Spool Disk, Spool IP, and Spool NetName as the dependencies for “X Print.” Then type the spool folder in the Parameters tab (for example, x:\spool).
9.Bring both resources and the group online.
10.Install the same printer ports and printer drivers on each cluster node.
a.Install the printer
b.After the printer driver is installed, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
c.
d.Select My Computer and click Next.
e.Click Add Port.
f.Highlight HP JetDirect Port and click New Port.
g.Either click Search to find the printer or type its IP address in the TCP/IP Address field and click Next.
h.Type a port name, for example sigport, and click Finish.
i.Click Close.
