Use the following instructions as a guideline for configuring your Windows 2008 cluster.
See your Windows cluster documentation as a complete reference.
1. Login with an account that has administrative rights on the domain and the local
machine.
2. Create the cluster, if it is not already created. See your Windows documentation for
instructions on how to create a cluster.
3. Configure a Node and File Share Majority quorum. See your Windows
documentation for instructions on how to configure the quorum.
4. If you are going to be using Hyper-V, install the Hyper-V server role on all nodes in
the cluster. Make sure that you have the required Microsoft hotfixes applied,
including KB958065 which is a failover clustering hotfix and KB950050.
5. Install GeoCluster on each node of the cluster.
6. If desired, you can install GeoCluster on non-clustered client machines if you want
to use Cluster Administrator to control the GeoCluster resources. Install
GeoCluster, selecting the Client Components Only installation option.
7. If you are going to be using Hyper-V, create your virtual machine from within
Hyper-V. Be sure to leave the virtual machine off.
8. From Failover Cluster Management, create your application or service group.
Note:
If you are creating a file server using clustered file shares, the path for the
file share in the Failover Cluster Management wizard is case-sensitive. If
the drive letter is uppercase, the path in the clustered file share wizard
must also be uppercase. If the case does not match, the wizard will fail
stating the path does not exist.
9. If you are using Hyper-V, add your virtual machine resource to the group. Any
warnings about storage may be disregarded because the GeoCluster Replicate
Disk will alleviate storage requirements.
