2-2 Compaq ProLiant CL380 Software User Guide Configuring the System The sections below provide instructions for configuring your ProLiant CL380 system with Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Preconfiguration Checks I Be sure you have sufficient software rights to install the operating system and software applications on each server node. I All hardware must be installed before you install the software. Configuring the Server Nodes 1. Apply power to the shared storage array and boot server node 1 with the SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive. 2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select the language you would like to use and follow the installation process. 3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Assisted Integration path. Follow the guided installation process. If you need help, refer to the online help by clicking on the Help button. 4. When prompted, insert the Server Profile Diskette. 5. Select Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server as the operating system. After the operating system has been selected, SmartStart runs the System Configuration Utility and configures the server node hardware. The adapter card in each server node that is connected to the shared storage RAID controller must have a unique SCSI ID number. IMPORTANT: Server nodes 1 and 2 cannot have the same SCSI ID. Compaq recommends that server node 1 be set with SCSI ID 6 and server node 2 be set with SCSI ID 7. 6. Perform the following substeps to set server node 1 with SCSI ID 6. IMPORTANT: This step is not required when configuring server node 2. After you configure server node 1 with SCSI ID 6, the SCSI ID for server node 2 will automatically be set to 7. a. After the system configuration is done, select Review or Modify Hardware Settings, then press Enter.
