This can be a time-consuming and complex procedure. Be sure to read through
all of the following directions as well as those in the Oracle documentation
before starting.
Adding a new node involves the following activities:
■
Preparing the new node
■
Preparing the existing cluster nodes
■
Installing the cluster software
These subsections contain a high-level outline of the steps to follow. If you
need detailed instructions, read through Chapter 5, “Installation and
Configuration.”
Preparing the New Node
To minimize downtime of the cluster, several preparation steps should be
performed on the new node before it is integrated into the cluster.
Prior to integrating the new node into the cluster, perform the following steps:
1.
Connect the server for the new node to the cluster interconnect
components and to the client LAN. Power on the new node. Although
physically connected to the cluster, the node is not yet integrated into
the cluster.
2.
Start the new node with the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software
CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3.
Use the Compaq System Configuration Utility to configure the hardware
settings of the node and its adapters.
4.
Use the Compaq Array Configuration Utility to configure the node’s
local non-shared disks with RAID.
5.
Install and configure Windows 2000 Advanced Server with
Service
Pack 1 or later (whichever is installed on the other cluster nodes).
6.
Install all necessary Compaq drivers and utilities from the
Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD, including the drivers for
the Fibre Host Adapters.
7.
Enter unique IP addresses and node names for each node in the hosts
and lmhosts files located at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc.
