NOTE:
•
A file share resource must reside in the same cluster group as the physical disk resource it will
reside on.
•
The physical disk resource specified in this step must reside in the same cluster group as specified in
the beginning of this wizard.
Creating NFS share resources
To create an NFS share resource, see “

Shadow copies in a cluster
It is recommended that the location of the cache file be placed on a separate disk from the original data.
In this case, a physical disk resource for the cache file disk should be created in the same cluster group
as the intended Shadow Copy resource and the volume for which snapshots will be enabled. The
resource should be created prior to the establishment of Shadow Copies. The Shadow Copy resource
should be dependent on both the original physical disk resource and the physical disk resource that
contains the cache file.
