Configuration and Maintenance
The below chapters show additional configuration and maintenance steps.
Bringing the resources of the MS Cluster online (Failover Cluster Manager)
To start the system, you need to bring all the MS Cluster resources online - the Firebird Server - MasterInstance service, the ApacheMonitor.jse script, and the MyQMonitor.jse script.
To bring a service or script online, open the Failover Cluster Manager application, go to Roles, right-click the service or script, and click Bring Online on the shortcut menu.

Taking the MS Cluster resources offline (Failover Cluster Manager)
To make sure that all the MS Cluster resources -except for Storage and Server Name- are offline, it is sufficient to take the Firebird Server - MasterInstance service offline; all of the scripts will be taken offline due to their dependency on this service.
The Storage and Server Name resources must stay online.
To take the Firebird Server - MasterInstance service offline, open Failover Cluster Manager, go to Roles, right-click the Firebird Server - MasterInstance service, and click Take Offline on the shortcut menu.

Restarting MyQ services via the MS Cluster (Failover Cluster Manager)
To restart MyQ services via the MS Cluster, take all the MS Cluster resources, except for Storage and Server Name, offline and then bring them online.
