Updating a Dell/EMC Storage System for Clustering If you are updating an existing Dell/EMC storage system to meet the cluster requirements for the shared storage subsystem, you may need to install additional Fibre Channel disk drives in the shared storage system. The size and number of drives you add depend on the RAID level you want to use and the number of Fibre Channel disk drives currently in your system. See your storage system's documentation for information on installing Fibre Channel disk drives in your storage system. Upgrade the core software version that is running on the storage system or enable Access Control. For specific version requirements, see the Dell Cluster Configuration Support Matrix on the Dell High Availability website at www.dell.com/ha. Installing and Configuring a Failover Cluster After you have established the private and public networks and have assigned the shared disks from the storage array to the cluster nodes, you can configure the operating system services on your Dell Failover Cluster. The procedure to configure the Failover Cluster depends on the version of the Windows Server operating system that is running on the system. For more information on deploying your cluster with Windows Server 2003 operating systems, see the Dell Failover Clusters with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide located on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. For more information on deploying your cluster with Windows Server 2008 operating systems, see the Dell Failover Clusters with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide located on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
