1. Open Cluster Administrator.
2. In the console tree (usually the left pane), double-click the Groups folder.
3. In the details pane (usually the right pane), click the group to which you want the resource to belong.
4. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Resource.
5. In the New Resource wizard, type the appropriate information in Name and Description, and in Resource type, click NFS Share. Click Next.
6. Add or remove possible owners of the resource, and then click Next.
7. To add or remove dependencies, do one of the following:
   • To add dependencies, under Available resources, click a resource, and then click Add.
   • Or, to remove dependencies, under Resource dependencies, click a resource, and then click Remove.
8. In Share Name, type the name of the shared folder.
9. In Share Path, type the fully qualified path of the folder to be shared.
10. To share the folder and its contents as a single shared folder, click Share Root Only.

    Or, to share all folders (except hidden folders) in the folder specified in the previous step as separate shared folders, click Share Subdirectories Only.

11. To allow access by users who have not been authenticated, click Allow anonymous access.
12. To change the user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) values assigned to anonymous users, type the new values in the Anonymous UID and Anonymous GID boxes.
13. In the Encoding list, select the type of encoding to be used for file and directory names in the shared directory. In addition to the default American National Standards Institute (ANSI) encoding, the following encoding is available:
    • BIG5 (Chinese)
    • EUC-JP (Japanese)
    • EUC-KR (Korean)
    • EUC-TW (Chinese)
    • GB2312-80 (Simplified Chinese)
    • KSC5601 (Korean)
    • SHIFT-JIS (Japanese)

    If this option is set to ANSI on systems configured for non-English locales, the encoding scheme is set to the default encoding scheme for the locale. The following are the default encoding schemes for the indicated locales:

    • Japanese: SHIFT-JIS
    • Korean: KS_C_5601-1987
    • Simplified Chinese: GB2312-80
    • Traditional Chinese: BIG5
14. To specify permissions for the client computers that can access the shared folder, click Permissions.
15. Click Finish.

Important

• Before adding a resource to your cluster, you must verify the following:
• • The NFS Share resource type is available. This resource type was created when you installed Server for NFS on the cluster node.
  • A group already exists within the cluster to which your resource will belong.
  • All dependent resources have been created.

Note

• To open Cluster Administrator, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Cluster Administrator.

1. At a command prompt, type (as a single command):

   cluster [ClusterName] resource "ResourceName" /create /restype:"NFS Share" /group:"GroupName" /privproperties ShareName="ShareName":STRING Path="SharePath":STRING ShareSubDirs=ShareType:DWORD GlobalPerm=PermType:DWORD Encoding=EncodingType:DWORD AnonymousAccessAllowed=AccessType:DWORD

2. Next, type:

   cluster [ClusterName] resource "ResourceName" /online /wait[:Timeout]

Argument	Description
ClusterName	The name of the cluster you want to manage.
ResourceName	The name of the cluster resource.
GroupName	The name of the group to which you want to add the resource.
ShareName	The name of the shared directory you want to create. This value is ignored if ShareType is 0x1
SharePath	The fully qualified path of the directory to be shared.
ShareType	0x0 if only the directory specified by SharePath is to be shared. 0x1 if the subdirectories (except hidden subdirectories) in the directory specified by SharePath are to be shared individually.
PermType	Specifies root-access and read-write permission combinations. PermType must be one of the following values: 0x1—No access 0x9—No Access + Root 0x2—Read only 0xa—Read only + Root 0x4—Read/write 0xc—Read/write + Root
EncodingType	Specifies the default encoding used for file and directory names and, if used, must be set to one of the following: 0x7—ANSI 0x5—BIG5 (Chinese) 0x0—EUC-JP (Japanese) 0x1—EUC-KR (Korean) 0x2—EUC-TW (Chinese) 0x6—GB2312-80 (Simplified Chinese) 0x4—KS_C_5601-1987 (Korean) 0x3—SHIFT-JS (Japanese) If this is option is set to Ox7, the encoding scheme is ANSI or, on systems configured for non-English locales, the default encoding scheme for the locale. The following are the default encoding schemes for the indicated locales: Japanese: SHIFT-JIS Korean: KS_C_5601-1987 Simplified Chinese: GB2312-80 Traditional Chinese: BIG5
AccessType	0x0 if anonymous access to the shared directory is not allowed. 0x1 if anonymous access is allowed.
Timeout	The number of seconds cluster waits before cancelling the command if it does not successfully complete. If /wait is specified without this value, cluster waits indefinitely or until the resource state changes.

Important

• Before adding a resource to your cluster, you must verify the following:
• • The NFS Share resource type is available. This resource type was created when you installed Server for NFS on the cluster node.
  • A group already exists within the cluster to which your resource will belong.
  • All dependent resources have been created.

Notes

• To view the complete syntax for this command, at a command prompt, type:

  cluster /?

• All arguments listed above are required. Using default values might produce unexpected results.
• You must use the Windows interface to set permissions on shared directories.
• If the attempt to share the directory fails, cluster displays an error message, and detailed information about the failure is recorded in the cluster log.
• You cannot set the user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) values assigned to anonymous users using the command line.
