The Internet Information Server (IIS) Virtual Root is one of the Microsoft Cluster Server resource types that can be used to provide fail-over capabilities for virtual root directories of IIS version 3.0 or later. The IIS Virtual Root depends on three other types of resources (disk, Internet Protocol [IP] address, and network name resources); these resources will be placed in the same recovery group.

The following example procedure describes how to set up the IIS Version 3.0 Virtual Root service. This procedure assumes that IIS has already been installed.

1.In Cluster Administrator, right-click any group or resource to start the New Group wizard, then point to New, and then select Group from the submenu.

2.In the dialog box, type Web Service for the new group name.

You may also want to select one of the nodes as the preferred owner of the group.

3.Use the New Resource wizard to create a disk resource. To start the New Resource wizard, right-click any group or resource, point to New, and then select Resource from the submenu.

You can also move an existing disk resource from other groups by right-clicking the disk, pointing to Change Group, and then selecting Web Service.

Alternately, you can rename the existing disk resource to “Web Service” and then add resources to the renamed group.

4.In the dialog box, type Web Disk for the new disk resource name.
