Scaling capacity and change management
This section describes installing additional servers, Fibre Channel host bus
adapters, hard disk drive (HDD) enclosures, and Fibre Channel switches.
Installing additional servers
Additional servers can be added to a new configuration or to an existing pool of
servers. Whether the server is new or existing, you should plan the server location
in the rack according the rack safety installation procedures.
If the server is new, use the installation and user manuals that came with the
server.
If the server is existing, use the following procedure:
1.
Attach the server to the management network.
2.
Update the BIOS code.
3.
Update the service processor code.
4.
Update the diagnostic code.
5.
Perform a low-level format of the hard disk.
6.
Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server OS (setting IP addressing).
7.
Install the service processor device driver.
8.
Install the video device driver.
9.
Install the Fibre Channel host bus adapters and drivers.
10.
Update Fibre Channel adapters firmware.
11.
Install and configure the FAStT Storage Manager.
12.
Set up (or redesign settings for) storage partitioning.
13.
Install and configure SAN Explorer software.
14.
Install and configure Fibre Channel switch and managed hub utility program.
