Procedure

To create a Physical Disk resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

  1. Right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, point to New, and then click Resource.

  2. The New Resource Wizard starts. In the Name box, type Disk <drive letter>, where drive letter is the logical drive on this disk. You should use a descriptive name, for example Disk G: Log Files.

  3. In the Resource type list, select Physical Disk. Verify that the Group box contains the name of your Exchange Virtual Server, and then click Next.

  4. In Possible Owners, under Possible owners, verify that both nodes are listed, and then click Next (Figure 7.4 earlier in this chapter).

  5. In Dependencies, under Resource dependencies, verify that no resources are listed, and then click Next.

  6. In Disk Parameters, in the Disk list, select the disk you want. If the disk does not appear in this list, either another group already has a resource for the disk, or the disk was not installed successfully.

  7. Click Finish. The disk resource appears as a resource of the Exchange Virtual Server.
