Setting up Microsoft failover cluster groups for the applications

If you have applications on the server that you want to cluster, you need to set up a cluster group for each application. Set up the groups first before the application is installed because if the application is cluster-aware, it may need to reference the cluster group. For detailed steps on setting up Microsoft failover cluster groups:

See Creating a group for the application in the failover cluster.

Note that you will not be able to finish setting up the resources for the group until the application is installed on the second node.
