Modifying Cluster Configuration Options
Microsoft recommends the following:
• Specify the preferred owners of a cluster group.
• Specify the restart policy for a resource.
• Specify which nodes can own a resource.
These options are unique to every cluster implementation. For detailed
information, see the Microsoft TechNet article Planning and preparing for
cluster installation which can be found at the following location:

Testing Cluster Failover
It is recommended that you ensure that cluster services can fail over in the
event of a failure. To test the cluster, use the Cluster Administrator to move
resource groups from one node to another. Perform the following steps using
the Cluster Administrator:
1 Expand Groups in the left panel.
2 Select the first group object. The node that owns the object appears in the
right panel.
3 Right-click the first group object and select Move Group, as shown in
Figure 6-5.
