Step 2: Adding the Compose service

After installing Compose in the cluster, you need to add the Compose service as a resource to the service (Windows Server 2008 Cluster) or role (Windows Server 2012\2016 Cluster).

To add the Compose service:

1. Do one of the following (according to your Windows Server version):

   • Windows Server 2008 Cluster: In the left pane of the Failover Cluster Manager, right-click the service and point to Add a resource. Then select Generic Service.
   • Windows Server 2012\2016 Cluster: In the left pane of the Failover Cluster Manager, select Roles. The available roles will be listed in the right pane of the console. Right-click the role you are working with and point to Add a resource. Then select Generic Service.
2. In the Select Service screen of the New Resource wizard, select Compose from the list.

3. Click Next and follow the directions in the wizard to create the resource. For information on how to use this wizard, see the Microsoft online help.
