Cluster Management 6-19 5. Install and configure Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Service Pack 1 or later (whichever is installed on the other cluster nodes). 6. Install necessary Compaq drivers and utilities from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. 7. Install Fibre Host Adapters in the replacement node in the same slot locations used in the other cluster nodes. 8. Enter unique IP addresses and node names for each node in the hosts and lmhosts files located at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc. 9. Install Secure Path for Windows 2000. See "Installing Secure Path Software for Windows 2000" in Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration." 10. Using Fibre Channel cables, connect the Fibre Host Adapters in the replacement node to the Fibre Channel SAN Switches, FC-AL Switches, or Storage Hubs. 11. Restart the replacement node. 12. Verify TCP/IP connectivity between the replacement node and the existing cluster nodes. Run the ping utility from the replacement node, pinging the client LAN adapters on all other nodes. If Ethernet is used as the cluster interconnect, also ping the cluster interconnect adapters of all other nodes. 13. Verify the replacement node can access the shared storage. From the replacement node, start Disk Management to verify that the same shared disk resources are seen from this node as they are seen from other installed nodes in the cluster. Also make sure you can see the same shared disk resources from the replacement node using Secure Path Manager as you can using Disk Management. Installing the Cluster Software Now that the replacement node is configured and physically connected to the cluster, the next procedure is to integrate the node into the cluster. This involves installing the low-level cluster management software and the OSDs. It also involves installing the application-level cluster software, including Oracle8i Server with the Oracle8i Parallel Server Option. All activities in this procedure are facilitated with the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The installation is further simplified in that almost all steps are performed from a single server, the primary cluster node. To install the cluster software, perform the following steps:
