HP NetServer NetRAID-4M manual Create Shared Quorum Cluster Resource

HP NetRAID-4M Cluster Services Installation Guide Cluster Software Components and Quorum

NOTE When formatting partitions for a container using the Disk Administrator or Disk Management utility, Quick Format is an option. The NetRAID-4M controller’s disk verify (with badblock repair) and container consistency check operations, which run in the background, will find (and repair) any bad blocks not detected during the quick format operation. (When the controller is busy, formatting partitions for a container can take a long time.)

28.Click Next.

29.Click Finish to complete the process and when the partition reports Healthy close the Computer Management window.

CAUTION	Do not shutdown or restart the server before completing the next step.
	Although Windows sees the container as a disk now, the NetRAID-4M will
	not allow access to the disk after a reboot, and it will not appear in the Disk
	Management window, unless a NetRAID-4M Diskset resource is associated
	with it.

3.5 Create Shared Quorum Cluster Resource

NOTE After you create a container, and partition it as a Windows disk, you must create a corresponding NetRAID-4M Diskset resource (using the MSCS Cluster Administrator utility) that maps to it. Then, that disk is capable of failing over according to the policies you establish for the cluster. For more information on working with NetRAID-4M Diskset resources, refer to the HP NetRAID 4M FAST Users Guide, listed in the Recommended Reading section of this document.

1.From either server, open the Cluster Administrator utility, if not already open.

2.In the left panel click once on the Groups folder.

3.In the right panel, right-click on the Cluster Group.

4.Select the New option then click on Resource.

5.Enter the quorum name and then enter a Description (e.g.: Shared Disk Quorum).

6.From the Resource Type drop list select NETRaid4M Diskset.
