Verify

Verify that the clustered file server can come online, and observe whether additional events are logged regarding resources in the clustered file server.

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.

To verify that a clustered file server can come online:

1. To open the failover cluster snap-in, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Failover Cluster Management. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
2. In the Failover Cluster Management snap-in, if the cluster you want to manage is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Management, click Manage a Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
3. If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster you want to manage, and then expand Services and Applications.
4. Click the clustered file server that you want to view. In the center pane, view the status of the clustered file server and its associated resources. As needed, expand one or more visible resources until you see all the clustered resources you want to view.
5. To bring a clustered file server online, in the console pane, right-click it, and then click Bring this service or application online. You can observe the status of the associated clustered resources as the Cluster service attempts to bring them online.
