Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation
The SmartStart setup poster describes the general flow of configuring and
installing software on a single server. The installation for a Compaq ProLiant
Cluster HA/F100 and HA/F200 will be very similar. The difference between
running SmartStart on a stand-alone server and running SmartStart for a
cluster are noted below:
■
Through the Compaq Array Configuration Utility, you can configure the
shared drives on both servers. For cluster configuration, configure the
drives on the first server, then accept the same settings for the shared
drives when given the option on the second server.
■
When configuring drives through the Array Configuration Utility, create
a logical drive with 100MB of space to be used as the quorum disk.
