Adding shared storage to an existing Microsoft cluster for an Enterprise Vault virtual server

You may want to add shared storage to an existing Enterprise Vault cluster to provide more storage for an Enterprise Vault virtual server.

To add shared storage to an existing Microsoft cluster

  1. Set up the additional shared disks and volumes, sharing the volumes on the nodes that require access to them.

  2. For the virtual server that is to use the new storage:

    • Add a Physical Disk resource to the resource group for each new volume. Make the Physical Disk resource dependent on the Enterprise Vault Server Instance resource.

    • Change the Properties of the Admin Service resource to add a dependency on each new Physical Disk resource.

  3. Specify the required nodes as possible owners for the new Physical Disk resources, according to your cluster operation mode.

  4. Test the modified cluster to confirm that the Enterprise Vault virtual server can access the new shared storage successfully before and after failover.
