2. Select Microsoft Cluster Services from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the Microsoft Cluster Service pane toolbar.

   The Add Microsoft Cluster Services dialog appears.

4. Enter the required connection data (server name, user, password, port), specify the preferred AIM, enable Managed Status.
5. Click OK.

   When the network connection has been established successfully, the Server is added to the top right pane with a green status icon.
