HP StorageWorks P9000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (TB534-96009, February 2011)

If a post-executable is specified, the PendingTimeout must be greater than the number of remote
systems multiplied by three times t

• When a copy group is used in the RAID Manager configuration file, the copy group name is
listed in the resource configuration tool P9000 device/copy group menu.
Setting Microsoft cluster-specific resource and service or application properties
Microsoft allows you to set specific failover parameter and threshold values for a service or
application, as well as for a resource. Some of these values must be changed for P9000 Cluster
Extension to enable manual recovery actions in case of a disaster.
To set Microsoft cluster-specific resource properties:
• For Windows Server 2003, use the Cluster Administrator GUI or cluster commands in the CLI.
• For Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, use the Failover Cluster Management GUI or cluster
commands in the CLI.
• For Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use cluster commands in the CLI.
TIP:
You can use the GUI option for Server Core or Hyper-V Server by using the MMC to manage
a cluster remotely. For more information about using the MMC, see your Microsoft
documentation.
P9000 Cluster Extension requirements for Cluster Administrator and Failover Cluster Management
resource properties are described in “Setting resource properties and values in the GUI” (page 28).
If there is no required value for a property, the valid and/or default values are specified. Set these
properties in the resource properties window or the CLI. If you use the CLI, use the following
command:
cluster.exe resource ResourceName /prop PropertyName="PropertyValue".
For more information about setting resource properties, see your Microsoft documentation.

Used to poll “Alive” state for the resource.
Decreasing this value allows faster
resource failure detection but also
consumes more system resources.
Set this value in the Advanced Policies
tab of the resource properties window in
Failover Cluster Management, or in the
Advanced tab of the resource properties
window in Cluster Administrator.
