This post continue from last post “Getting started with Microsoft Cluster Service, Part V: Create a file server cluster (1)”. I decide to separate this part since it’s quite long to be keep in a post. In this post, I’ll create File Share resource which depends on all of the resources that I’ve created in the prevoius post.

In this part and next following post, I’m going to create a file server cluster that has 2 nodes which are BKKSQL010 and BKKSQL020. This part, I’ll create a group to hold all resouces for the file server cluster. Then, I’ll create a physical disk resource (Disk R:) on the server cluster to keep my shared files. Next, I’ll create a virtual IP address for client to access the shared folder. Last step in this part, I’ll create a network name resource to the IP address so I can access the shared folder through this name besides the IP address. I’ll cover how to create a file share resource on the next post.
