Verifying the Microsoft Failover Cluster Configuration

Before you install the first data tier for SAP Mobile Platform, ensure that the Microsoft Failover Cluster is operating correctly. This simplifies the troubleshooting process for any issues that may arise during installation of SAP Mobile Platform components.

  1. From the desktop of the active cluster node, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Share Disk.
  2. Expand the folder you created in the previous task (for example, SMPData), and create a test.txt file.
  3. Fail over to the other node of the cluster to make it active.
  4. On the desktop of the new active node, verify that you can now see the test.txt file in the data folder of the Share Drive there:
    1. Navigate to the share disk in Windows Explorer.
    2. Open the data folder you created earlier and see the test.txt file.
    3. Delete the test.txt file.
  5. Fail over to the other node of the cluster to make it active.
  6. On the desktop of the new active node in the cluster, verify that the test.txt file is no longer in the Share Drive there:
    1. Navigate to the share disk in Windows Explorer.
    2. Open the data folder you created and confirm the test.txt file no longer exists.
