19.4.5 Steps for configuring a two-node file server cluster

To configure a two-node file server failover cluster, follow these steps:
1. To open the failover cluster snap-in, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click
Failover Cluster Management
2. In the console tree, if the cluster that you created is not displayed, right-click Failover
Cluster Management, click Manage a Cluster, and then select the cluster you want to
configure.
3. In the console tree, click the plus sign next to the cluster that you created to expand the
items underneath it.
4. If the clustered servers are connected to a network that is not to be used for network
communication in the cluster (for example, a network intended only for iSCSI), then under
Networks, right-click that network, click Properties, and then click Do not allow the
cluster to use this network. Click OK.
5. Click Services and Applications. Under Actions (on the right), click Configure a
Service or Application.
