Configuring the File Share service group involves creating a FileShare service group and defining the attribute values for its resources. After the service group is created, you must configure the shares to mount automatically at startup.
VCS provides several ways to configure file shares, including the configuration wizard, Cluster Manager (Java Console), and the command line. This section provides instructions on how to use the File Share Configuration Wizard to configure file shares.
On Windows Server Core, you have to add the required resources and configure the service group manually. You can perform the steps either directly on the Server Core machine using VCS commands from the command line, or remotely using the Cluster Manager (Java Console).
If you want to configure file shares manually, consider the following:
To configure a shared directory, use the FileShare agent.
To configure multiple directories, use the CompositeFileShare agent.
If UAC is enabled, run the program or commands in the "Run as administrator" mode even if the logged-on user belongs to the local administrators group. Alternatively, log on as an Administrator (default administrator account) to perform the tasks.
Before configuring the service group, review the agent resource types and the attribute definitions described in the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide.
