NOTE When formatting partitions for a container using the Disk Administrator or Disk
Management utility, Quick Format is an option. The NetRAID-4M controller’s
disk verify (with badblock repair) and container consistency check operations,
which run in the background, will find (and repair) any bad blocks not detected
during the quick format operation. (When the controller is busy, formatting
partitions for a container can take a long time.)
28. Click Next.
29. Click Finish to complete the process and when the partition reports Healthy close the
Computer Management window.
CAUTION Do not shutdown or restart the server before completing the next step.
Although Windows sees the container as a disk now, the NetRAID-4M will
not allow access to the disk after a reboot, and it will not appear in the Disk
Management window, unless a NetRAID-4M Diskset resource is associated
with it.
3.5 Create Shared Quorum Cluster Resource
NOTE After you create a container, and partition it as a Windows disk, you must create a
corresponding NetRAID-4M Diskset resource (using the MSCS Cluster
Administrator utility) that maps to it. Then, that disk is capable of failing over
according to the policies you establish for the cluster. For more information on
working with NetRAID-4M Diskset resources, refer to the HP NetRAID 4M
FAST Users Guide, listed in the Recommended Reading section of this document.
