Verifying that MSCS is working

Follow these steps to ensure that we have a running MSCS cluster.

The task descriptions starting with Creating a queue manager for use with MSCS assume that we have a running MSCS cluster within which we can create, migrate, and destroy resources. If you want to make sure that we have such a cluster:
  1. Use the MSCS Cluster Administrator, create a group.
  2. Within that group, create an instance of a generic application resource, specifying the system clock (path name C:\winnt\system32\clock.exe and working directory of C:\).
  3. Make sure that we can bring the resource online, that we can move the group that contains it to the other node, and that we can take the resource offline.
