Setting Up Cluster Groups and Cluster
Resources
You have now set up and configured all your clustering hardware. Microsoft
Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition and Cluster Server are installed on
both servers. You have validated your cluster and verified that everything is
working as planned. Now it is time to set up your applications to utilize the
capabilities of clustering.
If you have defined your cluster needs correctly and determined how to fit
your applications and environment into a cluster, configuring your applications
will be a straightforward task.
Although details of these procedures are beyond the scope of this guide,
several documents are available from both Microsoft and Compaq to assist
you with these final steps.
The best source of information concerning the steps to configure cluster
groups and cluster resources is Microsoft’s Cluster Server Administrator’s
Guide. Refer to that guide for detailed setup information.
Compaq has worked directly with several application vendors throughout the
development of Compaq ProLiant Clusters. As a result of these efforts,
Compaq provides a number of technical documents to assist you with
installing these applications in a Compaq ProLiant cluster environment.
The following technical documents are available on the Compaq website at
http://www.compaq.com. Visit the Compaq website to download the most current
