Configuring XP Cluster Extension resources
IMPORTANT:
In Cluster Administrator (Windows Server 2003), resources are added to resource groups. In Failover
Cluster Management (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2), the term resource groups changed to services
and applications . In this guide, the term services and applications refers to resource groups for
Windows Server 2003 and services and applications for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2.
XP Cluster Extension resource properties are configured using Cluster Administrator (Windows Server
2003), Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2), or cluster commands in the
CLI.
• For information about MSCS and Microsoft Failover Cluster Service properties that affect XP Cluster
Extension, see “Setting Microsoft cluster-specific resource and service or application proper-
ties” on page 46.
• For information about XP Cluster Extension-specific properties, see “Setting XP Cluster Extension-
specific resource properties” on page 49.
Before configuring XP Cluster Extension resources, review the XP Cluster Extension objects described
in Chapter 8 on page 123.
When configuring XP Cluster Extension resources, note the following:
• If the Cluster Administrator or Failover Cluster Management GUI is used to configure an XP Cluster
Extension resource, configuring the resource using a user configuration file (UCF) is not required.
• If the resource is not configured to use the pair/resync monitor, XP Cluster Extension creates a file
called resource_name.online in the directory specified by the ApplicationDir resource
property.
If the resource is taken offline, this file will be removed, or the device group associated with the
service or application will be removed from the pair/resync monitor list, if the pair/resync monitor
