4. Open a DOS window on a network client machine.
5. Ensure that the network client can access the IP address added in step 2.
From the network client, execute a
PING command using the cluster
IP address as the argument.
The client has successfully accessed the cluster resource if a response is
received similar to:
Reply from <IP Address>: bytes=xx time=xxxms TTL=xx
The client has not successfully accessed the cluster resource if a
response is received similar to:
Reply from <IP Address>: Destination host unreachable
NOTE: If the client cannot successfully access the cluster resource, refer to the operating
system documentation for troubleshooting information.
6. Following the completion of the PING command, use Cluster
Administrator to perform a manual failover of the cluster group that
contains the IP address.
7. After the manual failover completes, execute the
PING command again.
8. As soon as the other node brings the cluster group online, a response
similar to the one noted in step 5 should be returned. If the client
successfully accessed the failed-over IP address, the cluster is working.
If the client was unsuccessful, either the cluster group was not
configured correctly, the failover did not occur, or the
PING command
was performed before the failover activity completed.
NOTE: To verify a more extreme case, rather than fail over the IP address, power down
the primary cluster node and verify that the resource fails over to the other node.
