Setting Up the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 3-3 Preinstallation Guidelines When setting up the cluster, you will need to answer each of the following questions. Using the Preinstallation Worksheet in Appendix A, write down the answers to these questions before installing Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) on either cluster node. s Are you forming or joining a cluster? s What is the cluster name? s What are the username, password, and domain for the domain account that MSCS will run under? s What disks will you use for shared storage? s Which shared disk will you use to store permanent cluster files? s What are the adapter names and IP addresses of the network adapter cards you will use for client access to the cluster? s What are the adapter names and IP addresses of the network adapter cards you will use for the private interconnect between the cluster nodes? s What is the IP address and subnet mask of the address you will use to administer the cluster? Installing clustering software requires several specific steps and guidelines that may not be necessary when installing software on a single server. Read and understand the following items before proceeding with any software installation: s Have sufficient software licensing rights to install Windows NTS/E and software applications on each server because a cluster configuration uses more than one server. s Install clustering hardware before installing the software. s The storage hub must have AC power. s The RA4000 storage system must be turned on before the cluster nodes are powered on.

Setting Up the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200
3-3
Preinstallation Guidelines
When setting up the cluster, you will need to answer each of the following
questions. Using the Preinstallation Worksheet in Appendix A, write down the
answers to these questions before installing Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
on either cluster node.
■
Are you forming or joining a cluster?
■
What is the cluster name?
■
What are the username, password, and domain for the domain account
that MSCS will run under?
■
What disks will you use for shared storage?
■
Which shared disk will you use to store permanent cluster files?
■
What are the adapter names and IP addresses of the network adapter
cards you will use for client access to the cluster?
■
What are the adapter names and IP addresses of the network adapter
cards you will use for the private interconnect between the cluster
nodes?
■
What is the IP address and subnet mask of the address you will use to
administer the cluster?
Installing clustering software requires several specific steps and guidelines that
may not be necessary when installing software on a single server. Read and
understand the following items before proceeding with any software
installation:
■
Have sufficient software licensing rights to install Windows NTS/E and
software applications on each server because a cluster configuration
uses more than one server.
■
Install clustering hardware before installing the software.
■
The storage hub must have AC power.
■
The RA4000 storage system must be turned on before the cluster nodes
are powered on.
