Setting Up the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 3-5 s MSCS requires drive letters to remain constant throughout the life of the cluster; therefore, you must assign permanent drive letters to your shared drives. If you are performing manual software installation, use Windows NT Disk Administrator to assign drive letters and ensure the assignments are permanent. Windows NT makes dynamic drive letter assignments (when drives are added or removed, or when the boot order of drive controllers is changed), but Windows NT Disk Administrator allows you to make permanent drive letter assignments. NOTE: This step does not apply if you are using the SmartStart Assisted Integration installation. s Cluster nodes can be members of only one cluster. NOTE: It is possible to use hosts and LMHosts files, as well as DNS (Domain Name Server), for intracluster communication. However, WINS is the recommended method. s When you set up the cluster interconnect, select TCP/IP as the network protocol. MSCS requires the TCP/IP protocol. The cluster interconnect must be on its own subnet. The IP addresses of the interconnects must be static, not dynamically assigned by DHCP.

Windows NT makes dynamic drive letter assignments (when drives are

Cluster nodes can be members of only one cluster.

Server), for intracluster communication. However, WINS is the recommended method.
