HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2274, November 2012)

When setting up a consolidated DR site configuration (see Figure 3 (page 10)), consider the
following:
• P6000 Cluster Extension uses the unit of DR groups as the failover unit. This means all vdisks
or members of a DR group will be failed over if the cluster software moves disk access from
one cluster node to another.
• P6000 Cluster Extension does not directly support managed sets. However, applications that
consist of more than one DR group in one or more P6000/EVA storage systems can be
supported by P6000 Continuous Access as managed sets.
• If necessary, you can configure managed sets by creating P6000 Cluster Extension resources
that include the DR groups included in the managed set and configuring them in the same
application service group (cluster group).

Processes and components
P6000 Cluster Extension is shipped as a resource DLL for MSCS.
Windows installation of P6000 Cluster Extension includes a CLI for custom HP P6000 Continuous
Access integration. Customized solutions for failover application services must implement P6000
Cluster Extension through the CLI prior to the disk activation procedure.
