Configuring the cluster IP address
1. Start Failover Cluster Manager. In the left pane, click the cluster that you want to configure.
2. Right-click a cluster core network resource, and then select Properties.
3. In the General tab, click Add.
4. In the IP Address dialog box, select Use Static, and then in the Address box, type the static IP
address.
Renaming cluster networks
1. Go to Failover Cluster Manager, and then in the left pane, click Networks.
2. Select a network, and then in the Networks Connections tab, verify the names of the network
adapters for each node.
3. Right-click a network and rename the network as Internal, External, or Management on the basis of
adapters in the Network Connections tab. Expanding each network item shows information about
that adapter.
Specifying the cluster network roles
This task configures the cluster role for the cluster network. You can define the cluster network based on
the type of communication performed.
1. Start PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Configure Cluster Network Roles for using the following Windows PowerShell commands where:
0 – Cluster network not used for cluster communication.
1 – Cluster network used only for intra-cluster communication.
3 – Cluster network used for client and intra-cluster communication.
(Get-ClusterNetwork "Management").Role = 0
(Get-ClusterNetwork "Internal").Role = 1
(Get-ClusterNetwork "External").Role = 3
