Creating provisioning scripts for virtual servers and cluster group configuration for SQL Server

If you want to use a pre-provisioning script to specify the virtual server IP addresses and the Data Disk/Cluster Group Name, you must create a file that contains the virtual server IP addresses and the Data Disk/Cluster Group Name information.

The following rules apply in creating your file:

• There can be only one DISK line in the file. The DISK line specifies the data drive and the cluster group that owns that drive.
• There can be as many IP address lines as there are network interfaces on the node.

To create provisioning scripts for virtual servers and cluster group configuration for SQL Server

1. To use a pre-provisioning script to specify the virtual server IP addresses and the Data Disk/Cluster Group Name, disable the Configure Virtual Servers and Configure Cluster Group Selection parameters by clearing the check boxes.
2. Create a file in the BMC Database Automation directory to specify the virtual server IP addresses and the Data Disk/Cluster Group Name.
   Name the file as follows:
   CLUSTER_PARAMETERS_virtual_server_name_instance_name.TXT
3. Enter the virtual server IP addresses and Data Disk/Cluster Group Name information into the file in the following format:
   DISK|E:|Cluster Group Name
IP|n.n.n.n
IP|n.n.n.n
4. Save the file.
