Use the SmartStart Assisted Integration procedure to configure the servers (nodes) in the HA/F100 configuration. You will set up two nodes during this process. Go through all steps on each of the nodes with noted exceptions. The following steps will take you through the SmartStart Assisted Integration procedure. CAUTION: Installation using SmartStart assumes that SmartStart is being installed on new nodes. Any existing data on the nodes' boot drive will be erased. Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation The SmartStart setup poster describes the general flow of configuring and installing software on a single node. The installation for a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 will be very similar. The difference between running SmartStart on a stand-alone node and running SmartStart for a cluster is that you can configure the shared drives using the Compaq Array Configuration Utility. For cluster configuration, configure the drives on the first node, and then accept the same settings for the shared drives if given the option on the second node. Assisted Integration Steps To install your cluster using the Assisted Integration path, follow these steps: IMPORTANT: Node 2 must be powered off when setting up Node 1. 1. Power up your hardware in the following manner: a. Storage hub (power is applied when the AC cord is plugged in) b. Shared storage (wait for drives to spin up) c. Power up Node 1 and place the SmartStart CD in the CD-ROM drive. The CD will automatically run. 2. Select the Assisted Integration installation path.
