Modifying the replication and application service groups
Add the new failover node to the system lists in the replication and application service groups.
To add the failover node to the system lists
- Bring the replication service group online on an existing cluster node of the current primary site.
- Bring the MountV resources of the corresponding application service group online on the same node.
- Use the Modify an existing replication service group option of the Volume Replicator Agent Configuration Wizard to add a new node to the system list for the replication service group.
Launch the Volume Replicator Agent Configuration Wizard from the Apps menu on the Start screen.
If necessary, refer to the Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide for information on this procedure.
- Use the Modify service group option of the FileShare, IIS, or the Application Configuration Wizard.
Start the appropriate Configuration Wizard from the Solutions Configuration Center. For example, for FileShare, click High Availability Configuration Wizards > FileShare Configuration Wizard to add the new node to the system list for the respective application service group.
Check the check box to bring the service group online after the wizard completes. If necessary, refer to the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for information on this procedure.
- After bringing the application service group online, configure all the application database stores to automatically mount on start-up.
