Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server on an HA/F100 Cluster 2-5 21. Run CCVU again to verify successful cluster installation. 22. Install your applications and monitoring and management software. Refer to the Compaq Insight Manager Installation Poster for information on installing Compaq Insight Manager on the management console and Insight Management Agents on servers and desktops. For additional information on Windows 2000 Advanced Server visit the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com) or the Compaq High Availability website (http://www.compaq.com/highavailability). Manual Configuration Using SmartStart Performing a manual configuration with SmartStart minimizes SmartStart's involvement. The manual configuration routine runs Compaq's System Configuration Utility. When you are prompted for the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD, SmartStart transfers the installation procedure to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Follow the instructions on the Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation screens. IMPORTANT: Prior to the installation of Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server, upgrade the system ROM on each node with the latest ROMPAQ from the Compaq website at http://www.compaq.com/support. Use the SmartStart manual configuration procedure to configure the servers (nodes) in the HA/F100 configuration. You will set up two nodes during this process. Go through all steps on each of the nodes with noted exceptions. The following steps will take you through the SmartStart manual configuration procedure. CAUTION: Installation using SmartStart assumes that SmartStart is being installed on new nodes. Any existing data on the nodes' boot drive will be erased. Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation The SmartStart setup poster describes the general flow of configuring and installing software on a single node. The installation for a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 will be very similar. The difference between running SmartStart on a stand-alone node and running SmartStart for a cluster is that you can configure the shared drives using the Compaq Array Configuration Utility. For cluster configuration, configure the drives on the first node, and then accept the same settings for the shared drives if given the option on the second node.
