If the client successfully accessed the failed over IP address, your cluster is working. If the client was unsuccessful, either the cluster group was not configured correctly, the failover did not occur, or the PING command was performed before the failover activity completed. NOTE: To verify a more extreme case, rather than fail over the IP address, power down the primary cluster server node and verify that the resource fails over to the other server node. Setting Up Cluster Groups and Cluster Resources You have now set up and configured all your clustering hardware. Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Cluster Service are installed on both servers. You have validated your cluster and verified that everything is working as planned. Now it is time to set up your applications to utilize the capabilities of clustering. If you have defined your cluster needs correctly and determined how to fit your applications and environment into a cluster, configuring your applications will be a straightforward task. Although details of these procedures are beyond the scope of this guide, several documents are available from both Microsoft and Compaq to assist you with these final steps. The best source of information concerning the steps to configure cluster groups and cluster resources is the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server documentation. Refer to that documentation for detailed setup information. For a current listing of additional Compaq technical documents, refer to the Compaq website: http://www.compaq.com
