How to provision shares remotely in a Windows Server 2008 failover cluster
an error occurs if you try to provision a share remotely and if the highly available service or the application group is not local to the cluster node. You may receive the following error message:
<Client_Access_Point_Name>: Virtual Disk Service initialization failed. It is possible that the connection is blocked by Windows firewall. A VDS (Virtual Disk Service) error occurred while performing the requested operation.

| 1. |
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Windows Firewall. |
| 2. |
Click Change settings. |
| 3. |
Click the Exception tab, click to select the Remote Volume Management check box. |
