5.Set the Resource Type in the dialog box as Physical Disk. Select both nodes as possible owners and select a shared disk.

There is no dependency for a physical disk.

NOTE: When a new resource is created, the resource group is marked off-line, which is normal and does not indicate a failure. Once the resource is created and brought online, the group is automatically brought online as well.

6.Using the New Resource wizard, create an IP address resource called “Web IP.”

7.Set the Resource Type as IP Address. Select both nodes as possible owners and then fill in an IP address and the subnet mask for your public local area net- work (LAN).

There is no dependency for IP addresses.

8.Using the New Resource wizard, create a network name resource called “Web NetName.”

9.Set the Resource Type as Network Name. Select both nodes as possible own- ers. Set Web IP as the dependency for Web NetName. Then type a network name that will be visible to clients (for example, website).

10.Use the New Resource wizard to create an IIS Virtual Root resource called “Web IIS Root.”

11.Set the Resource Type as IIS Virtual Root. Select both nodes as possible own- ers. Set Web Disk, Web IP, and Web NetName as the dependencies for Web IIS Root.

12.Select the WWW tab and fill in the directory and the alias in the Parameters tab.

For example, you can configure /documents as an alias for z:\mywebdir. You should also create the same directory and place Web files there.

After bringing both the resources and the group online, users can access the IIS Virtual Root via the following Web address:

website/documents

The File Share service is a Cluster Server resource type that can be used to provide fail-over capabilities for file sharing. Like the IIS Virtual Root, the File Share service also depends on disk, 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 File Share service:

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.
