At the Settings window confirm that the Server Work Directory and any other settings are correctly specified. It is important to note that the directory paths for the Server Work Directory and SSA-NAME3 v1.8 Service Group Directory (if used) are from the perspective of the Server machine. For example, if the Service Group is located on the E drive of the Server Machine, then it is referred to as E drive from the Console Client even if the local DCE installation was on the C drive.

The Server Work Directory is the location where the DCE will create the Rulebase, database and where the working files will be stored during the Clustering process.

The Environment Settings button will lead to a screen allowing further environment details to be specified. Refer to the

Environment Settings

section for further details.

Once you are satisfied that the correct details are entered then you can proceed into the main DCE Console window.
