Create new Disk Resource

Using the Arcserve RHA MMC snap-in, you can create a new Disk Resource which acts as the Replica in a Arcserve RHA scenario. The Arcserve RHA Disk Resource is not supported for use a quorum disk.

Whenever you change a cluster node (eject, add node), you should rescan cluster nodes for that resource. For more information, see the topic, Rescan Cluster Nodes.

If the real disks are shared by several cluster nodes, make sure the same drive letter is used on each cluster node when you create the disk resource. If the real disk is offline, bring it online from the Microsoft Disk Management Console, check whether the expected drive letter was assigned to the volumes that belong to the disk. You can change the drive letter from the Microsoft Disk Management Console.

Note: You may create the disk resource without completing the Target Volume field, but must specify this information to bring the disk resource online. If you wish to add the volume information later, click the option, Edit Arcserve RHA disk resource.

To create a new disk resource

1. From the Arcserve RHA for MSFC console, click the cluster node.
2. In the Actions list, click Add Arcserve RHA Disk Resource.
3. Specify the Disk Name and Target Volume and click OK.

The disk resource is created under the cluster node in the console. Nodes using the disk resource are automatically detected and listed.
