Creating the GeoCluster Replicated Disk Resource on Windows 2008
1. Select Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Failover Cluster Management.
2. Right-click the application group where you want to add a replicated disk to and
select Add a resource, More resources, Add GeoCluster Replicated Disk.
3. Right-click on the resource and select Properties.
4. On the Connection Parameters tab, specify the GeoCluster Replicated Disk
connection parameters using the settings below.
l
Disk to replicate—Select a disk to replicate from the available volumes. The
only volumes that will be displayed are those that meet the following criteria.
l
NTFS volumes
l
Volumes which are not already being replicated by another GeoCluster
Replicated Disk resource
l
Volumes that are not physical disk resources
l
Volumes that do not contain system files (The volume that you booted
Windows from will not be displayed.)
l
Volumes that exist on all nodes of the cluster
Note: If you are using Hyper-V, select the drive where the virtual
machine .vhd file is stored.
l
Network to route Double-Take mirroring and replication traffic over—
Select the network that you want to use for Storage Mirroring Recover
mirroring and replication traffic. If you do not have multiple networks
established, you will only be able to select the one network that does exist. If
you do not select a network, Storage Mirroring Recover will use DNS to
determine a network route to use. Ideally, the networks used for various traffic
should be separated. This is dependent on the number of networks that you
established when you created the cluster and the priority assigned to each
network. For example, if you have two network routes, separate Storage
Mirroring Recover and your public traffic. If you have three routes, separate
the public traffic and then separate Storage Mirroring Recover from the
cluster heartbeat.
l
Interval to check unresponsive nodes—Specify how much time, in
seconds, between checks of nodes to see if a Storage Mirroring Recover
connection can be made.
