When installing MSCS, both cluster nodes must be in the same Windows NT domain. The cluster nodes can be members of an existing Windows NT domain, they can both be member servers, they can make up their own domain by assigning one as Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and one as Backup Domain Controller (BDC), or they can both be a BDC in an existing Windows NT domain. s One of the utilities the SmartStart CD runs is the Compaq Array Configuration Utility, which configures the drives in the RA4000. The Array Configuration Utility stores the drive configuration information on the drives themselves. After you have configured the shared drives from one of the cluster nodes it is not necessary to configure the drives from the other cluster node. When the Array Configuration Utility runs on the first cluster node, configure the shared drives in the RA4000 storage system. When SmartStart runs the utility on the second cluster node, you will be presented the information on the shared drives that was entered when the Array Configuration Utility was run on the first node. Accept the information as presented and continue. s For a manual software installation, use Windows NT Disk Administrator on the first cluster node to configure the shared drives, and allow MSCS to synchronize information between the two nodes. By running Disk Administrator from the first node, you prevent potential problems caused by inconsistent drive configurations. When the second cluster node joins the cluster, the disk information in the Windows NT Registry is copied from the first node to the second node. s Only New Technology File System (NTFS) is supported on shared drives.

Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
■
Log on to the domain using an account that has administrative
permissions on both cluster nodes. When installing MSCS, both cluster
nodes must be in the same Windows NT domain. The cluster nodes can
be members of an existing Windows NT domain, they can both be
member servers, they can make up their own domain by assigning one
as Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and one as Backup Domain
Controller (BDC), or they can both be a BDC in an existing
Windows NT domain.
■
One of the utilities the SmartStart CD runs is the Compaq Array
Configuration Utility, which configures the drives in the RA4000. The
Array Configuration Utility stores the drive configuration information
on the drives themselves. After you have configured the shared drives
from one of the cluster nodes it is not necessary to configure the drives
from the other cluster node.
When the Array Configuration Utility runs on the first cluster node,
configure the shared drives in the RA4000 storage system. When
SmartStart runs the utility on the second cluster node, you will be
presented the information on the shared drives that was entered when
the Array Configuration Utility was run on the first node. Accept the
information as presented and continue.
■
For a manual software installation, use Windows NT Disk
Administrator on the first cluster node to configure the shared drives,
and allow MSCS to synchronize information between the two nodes.
By running Disk Administrator from the first node, you prevent
potential problems caused by inconsistent drive configurations. When
the second cluster node joins the cluster, the disk information in the
Windows NT Registry is copied from the first node to the second node.
■
Only New Technology File System (NTFS) is supported on shared
drives.
