2. Configure a Historian resource on MSCS as follows:
   • Allow client access to the IP address and network name of the Historian server.
   • Ensure that a shared storage device or location is available to all the Historian cluster nodes in order to store the Historian archive files.
3. After you configure the components of the failover cluster, when configuring Client Manager, Configuration Manager and Diagnostics Manager, enable the Use Network Name for Computer Name option on the General section of the resource's properties.
