HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

Powershell Cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe to perform the same tasks. For
more information, see Microsoft documentation.
Setting HP XP Cluster Extension resource properties using the Microsoft Failover PowerShell Cmdlets
The cluster commands described in this section can be used with Windows Server 2008/2008
R2/2012/2012 R2, Server Core, or Hyper-V Server. You can change the Windows cluster default
properties for a resource by using the following command:
Get-ClusterResource "resource_name" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"property_name" -Value "value_to_set"
NOTE: When you configure HP XP Cluster Extension resource properties using the PowerShell,
the properties that you enter are not validated. Ensure that you enter the correct property values
and verify them against the HP XP Cluster Extension documentation.
The following example sets the ApplicationStartup property for the resource test_clxxp
to FASTFAILBACK
Get-ClusterResource "test_clxxp" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"ApplicationStartup" -Value FASTFAILBACK
For more information about the available properties, see “User configuration file and HP XP Cluster
Extension objects” (page 64)
Setting HP XP Cluster Extension properties using a UCF
You can use a UCF to configure certain HP XP Cluster Extension properties.
Properties that you can configure in a UCF include:
• LogLevel
• ClusterNotifyCheckTime
• ClusterNotifyWaitTime
• LocalDCLMForNonPAIRDG
• StatusRefreshInterval
IMPORTANT: If you plan to use the default values for these properties, no UCF is required.
To configure properties using a UCF:
1. Take the HP XP Cluster Extension resource offline.
2. Open the sample UCF.cfg file located in %HPCLX_PATH%\sample.
3. Update the file with the property values you want to use.
For more information on the available properties, see “User configuration file and HP XP
Cluster Extension objects” (page 64).
4. Save the file and copy it to the following directory on all cluster nodes: %HPCLX_PATH%\
conf.
5. Bring the HP XP Cluster Extension resource online.

or application. All resources that depend on the disk resource, such as a file share, and all disk
resources (physical disks), must be configured for dependency on the HP XP Cluster Extension
resource.
