Verify Installation

There are several ways to verify that Cluster Service was successfully installed. Here is a simple one:

1.Click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, then click Cluster Administrator.

The presence of two nodes (pictured below) shows that a cluster exists and is in operation.

2.Right-click the group Disk Group 1 and select the option Move. This option moves the group and all its resources to another node. After a short period of time, the Disk F: G: will be brought online on the second node. If you watch the screen, you will see this shift. Close the Cluster Administrator snap-in.

Congratulations! You have completed installing Cluster Service on all nodes. The server cluster is fully operational. Now, you are ready to install cluster resources, such as file shares, printer spoolers, cluster aware services like IIS, Message Queuing, Distributed Transaction Coordinator, DHCP, WINS, or cluster aware applications like Exchange or SQL Server.
