This chapter provides general information about configuring applications software to run on the Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100 using Cluster Administrator.

Before you start Cluster Administrator on either node, make sure the Cluster Service has been started and a cluster has been formed. You can verify this by using the Event Viewer and looking for events logged by Cluster Service (ClusSvc). You should see either of the following events:

or

Microsoft Cluster Server successfully joined the cluster.

To start Cluster Administrator, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools (Common), and then click Cluster Administrator. In Cluster Administrator, open a connection to the cluster.
