Maintaining Your Cluster
This section provides instructions to perform multiple maintenance tasks
like adding, configuring, and removing cluster components in your
Dell™ Failover Cluster.
Adding a storage to a Failover Cluster Node
Failover Clustering groups all available disks on the shared storage into a
group named Available Storage group. You can also add storage to an existing
Failover Cluster. To add storage to an existing Failover Cluster:
1 Open the Failover Cluster Management console and connect to your
cluster.
2 Right-click on Storage and click Add a Disk. Any disks that are visible from
all the cluster nodes and can be clustered is listed.
3 Select the disks you want to add and then click OK.
This adds the disk to the Available Storage group of your Failover Cluster.
Configuring Network Settings of a Failover
Cluster Node
The cluster nodes should have at least two networks, one for private network
traffic and one for public network traffic. Failover Clustering allows you to
specify if a network will be used by the cluster, either by the nodes only or by
nodes and clients, or not used by the cluster at all. It is a generally accepted
practice to enable your private network for use by the cluster nodes only and
your public network to be used by cluster nodes and clients connected to the
cluster.
To configure the network settings of a Failover Cluster:
1 Open the Failover Cluster Management console and connect to your
cluster.
2 Expand Networks, right-click the network that you want to configure, and
click Modify.
