Extend a LUN in a cluster
To extend a LUN on a storage array in a cluster, review the requirements and procedures from the
storage array hardware provider for expanding or extending storage.
For additional information associated with extending a LUN in a cluster, see the P4000 SAN
documentation at http://www.hp.com/go/p4000.
MSNFS administration on a server cluster
The Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS) online help provides server cluster information
for the following topics:
• Configuring shared folders on a server cluster
• Configuring an NFS share as a cluster resource
• Modifying an NFS shared cluster resource
• Deleting an NFS shared cluster resource
• Using Microsoft Services for NFS with server clusters
• Understanding how Server for NFS works with server clusters
• Using Server for NFS on a server cluster
• Configuring User Name Mapping on a server cluster
For further details, see the online help for Microsoft Services for Network File System.
Best practices for running Server for NFS in a server cluster
• Stop Server for NFS before stopping the server cluster.
• Ensure share availability when a node fails.
• Use the appropriate tool to manage Network File System (NFS) share cluster resources.
• Avoid conflicting share names.
• Ensure the availability of audit logs.
• Move file shares or take them offline before stopping Server for NFS.
• Take resources offline before modifying.
• Administer Server for NFS only from computers in a trusted domain.
• Restart the Server for NFS service after the cluster service restarts.
• Choose the appropriate sharing mode.
• Use the command line properly when creating or modifying NFS share cluster resources.
• Use hard mounts.
• Use the correct virtual server name.
Print services in a cluster
The Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Cluster service implementation increases availability of critical
print servers. A print spooler service on a clustered print server may be hosted on any of the nodes
in the cluster. As with all cluster resources, clients should access the print server by its virtual network
name or virtual IP address.
