Creating a SharePoint service group
Complete the following steps to create a service group for SharePoint Server.
To create the SharePoint Server service group
- Launch the Solutions Configuration Center from the Apps menu on the Start screen.
Expand the Solutions for SharePoint Server tab and click High Availability (HA) Configuration > Configure SharePoint Server Service Groups > SharePoint 2010 Configuration Wizard.
- Review the information in the Welcome panel and click Next.
- On the Farm Admin User Details panel, specify the SharePoint Farm Admin user credentials and then click Next.
Farm Name
Displays the name of the farm configuration database where the nodes reside.
Farm Admin User Name
Specify a user account that has Farm Admin privileges in the SharePoint farm where the current node resides.
Click the ellipsis button to launch the Windows Select User dialog box and then specify the appropriate user account.
The Farm Admin user account is used to manage the SharePoint applications and services configured in the SharePoint service groups in the cluster.
Password
Type the password of the user account specified in the Farm Admin User Name field.
The wizard stores the user password in the VCS configuration in an encrypted form.
- On the Web Applications Details panel, review the list of Web Applications that the wizard discovers in the farm and then click Next.
The wizard configures these Web Applications in a parallel service group. The wizard configures only those components that are part of the local cluster.
- On the Service Applications Details panel, review the list of Service Applications and services that the wizard discovers in the farm and then click Next.
The wizard configures these Service Applications and services in a local service group on each node. The wizard configures only those components that are part of the local cluster.
- On the Service Groups Summary panel, review the service group configuration, edit the service group and resource names if required, and then click Next.
Resources
Displays a list of configured service groups and its resources. The wizard assigns unique names to service group and resources.
For parallel service groups, the wizard uses the following naming convention:
FarmConfigurationDatabaseName-WebApplications
For local service groups, the wizard uses the following naming convention:
FarmConfigurationDatabasename-NodeName- ServiceApps
You can edit resource names only in the create mode. You cannot modify names of service groups and resources that already exist in the configuration.
To edit a name, select the resource name and either click it or press the F2 key. Edit the resource name and then press the Enter key to confirm the changes. To cancel editing a resource name, press the Esc key.
Attributes
Displays the attributes and their configured values, for a resource selected in the Resources list.
- Click Yes on the message that informs that the wizard will run commands to modify the service group configuration. The wizard starts running commands to create the service groups. Various messages indicate the status of these commands.
- On the completion panel, check Bring the service group online check box to bring the SharePoint service groups online in the cluster, and then click Finish.
This completes the SharePoint service group configuration.
