3 Multi-node Setup This section explains how to configure the identities of each node after the nodes and other components of the system are installed and cabled. Configuring Primary Node 0 To configure the primary node: 1. On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to a console. 2. Power on the primary node. The node will now run cable checks and configuration checks. After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary (master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node. 3. Enter m. The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks. 4. After the checks are complete the node will reboot automatically. Wait for the primary node to fully boot. Rebooting is complete when you receive the "Initializing node#" and then "Initializing for node# completed." messages in the systems notifications (if you have DHCP enabled) of Command View VLS or when you see the login prompt on the terminal. 5. Set the IP address and other public network configurations on the VLS. Refer to Setting the Network Settings for instructions. Configuring the Secondary Nodes 1 through 3 To configure the secondary nodes (nodes 1 through 3): 1. On the secondary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to a console. 2. Power on the primary node and all previously installed secondary nodes of the VLS. 3. Power on the secondary node being added to the VLS. The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks, and display the world wide part number (WWPN). After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary (master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node. NOTE: If you are performing a "hot add" of a secondary node, you can present the LUNs at this time. See "Presenting the LUNs" (page 24). 4. Enter s. 5. At the prompt, enter the node number (next sequential node number), and the node will then automatically reboot. NOTE: Node numbering must be sequential with no gaps. Gaps in ID numbering will prevent the VLS from recognizing any nodes with an ID after the gap. For example, if node numbering is 0, 1, 2, 4, the VLS will not recognize node 4. 6. Once the new secondary node has finished rebooting, log on to Command View VLS and log in as the administrator. See "Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser" (page 79). 7. Select the System tab. 8. Select Nodes from the navigation pane. 9. Repeat these steps to add nodes until all of the nodes are listed in the navigation pane. Configuring Primary Node 0 23
