Testing a Group Failover Policy on Windows Server 2008
Testing a Group Failover Policy on Windows Server 2008
- Hi,
I have a set of steps to test group failover policy on Windows Server 2003. I need to know the equivalent steps on Windows Server 2008. I could not find anything in the installed Help and even online.
Steps for Testing Group Failover Policy in Windows Server 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To test a group failover policy-
Open Cluster Administrator by clicking Start, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Cluster Administrator.
-
In the console tree, double-click the Groups folder.
-
In the details pane, click the group.
-
On the File menu, click Properties.
-
On the Failover tab, set the Threshold to 0, and then click OK.
-
In the Cluster Administrator console tree, click the group.
-
In the details pane, click a resource.
-
On the File menu, click Properties.
-
On the Advanced tab, select the Affect the group check box, if it is not already selected.
-
On the Advanced tab, set the Threshold to 0, and then click OK.
-
On the File menu, click Initiate Failure.

- well Threshold is still there, it is now called "Maximum failures in specified period"
but before changing it, have a read of this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950804

- It is the same in W2K8
when you "right click on a group in W2K3" you now "right click on an application in W2K8"
when you "right click on a resource in W2K3" you still "right click on a resource in W2K8"
I don't have access to a cluster at this moment, so cannot describe step by step on what to do... it is pretty straight forward once you are in the property pages
rgds,
Edwin. - Thanks Edwin. I could figure out that services/applications are equivalent to groups in 2k3. I could also reach as far as the Failover tab for service/application properties. But the options on the Failover tab are completely different. For example, I could not figure out how to set the THRESHOLD. Similarly, the options for the Resource properties are vastly different in Win2k8. And, I am not able to find any documentation around this.
