Kaspersky Security Center 13 > Installation of Kaspersky Security Center > Installing Administration Server on a Windows Server failover cluster > Step 5. Specifying a cluster group
Step 5. Specifying a cluster group
Step 5. Specifying a cluster group
A cluster group is a special failover cluster role that contains common resources for all nodes. You have two options:
- Creating a new cluster group.
This option is recommended in most cases. The new cluster group will contain all common resources that relate to the Administration Server instance.
- Selecting an existing cluster group.
Select this option if you want to use a common resource that is already associated with an existing cluster group. For example, you may want to use this option if you want to use a storage associated with an existing cluster group and if there are no other available storage for a new cluster group.
