3-6 Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide Installing the Hardware The following installation steps detail setting up a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 or HA/F200. Setting Up the Nodes Physically preparing the nodes (servers) for use in a cluster is not very different from preparing them for individual use. The primary difference will be setting up the shared storage: 1. Install all necessary adapter cards and insert all internal hard drives. 2. Attach network cables and plug in SCSI and/or Fibre Channel cables. 3. Set up one node completely, then set up the second node. IMPORTANT: Do not load any software on either cluster node until all the hardware has been installed in both cluster nodes. NOTE: Compaq recommends that Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) be left at the default values for clustered servers. Follow the installation instructions in your Compaq ProLiant Server documentation to set up the hardware. To install Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapters (host bus adapters) and any interconnect cards, follow the instructions in the next sections. IMPORTANT: For the most up-to-date list of cluster-certified servers, access the Compaq High Availability website (http://www.compaq.com/highavailability). Installing the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter Follow the installation instructions in your Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter Installation Guide and your Compaq ProLiant Server documentation to install the host bus adapter in your servers. Install one adapter per server for the HA/F100 configuration. Install two adapters per server for the HA/F200 configuration.

Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Installing the Hardware
The following installation steps detail setting up a Compaq ProLiant
Cluster HA/F100 or HA/F200.
Setting Up the Nodes
Physically preparing the nodes (servers) for use in a cluster is not very
different from preparing them for individual use. The primary difference will
be setting up the shared storage:
1.
Install all necessary adapter cards and insert all internal hard drives.
2.
Attach network cables and plug in SCSI and/or Fibre Channel cables.
3.
Set up one node completely, then set up the second node.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load any software on either cluster node until all the hardware has
been installed in both cluster nodes.
NOTE:
Compaq recommends that Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) be left at the default
values for clustered servers.
Follow the installation instructions in your Compaq ProLiant Server
documentation to set up the hardware. To install Compaq StorageWorks Fibre
Channel Host Adapters (host bus adapters) and any interconnect cards, follow
the instructions in the next sections.
IMPORTANT:
For the most up-to-date list of cluster-certified servers, access the Compaq
High Availability website (http://www.compaq.com/highavailability).
Installing the Compaq StorageWorks
Fibre Channel Host Adapter
Follow the installation instructions in your
Compaq StorageWorks
Fibre Channel Host Adapter Installation Guide
and your Compaq ProLiant
Server documentation to install the host bus adapter in your servers. Install one
adapter per server for the HA/F100 configuration. Install two adapters per
server for the HA/F200 configuration.
