Configure the RPC Locator Service

The last step in creating your cluster is to set the RPC Locator Service to

Automatic. Perform the procedure below to change this setting:

1 Click Start

2 Locate the RPC Locator Service and double-click the icon.

3 The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator Properties window launches.

In the General tab, set the Startup type as Automatic.

4 Click Start to start the service.

NOTE:

MSCS uses the RPC Locator Service for remote management purposes.

If this service is not configured, MSCS does not behave as expected.

After these steps are completed on all servers, the cluster configuration can be

tested. For more information on testing the cluster configuration, see the

Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 Help.
