When prompted, choose
Join an existing cluster
, then specify
the cluster name you created when installing MSCS on the first
node.
3
Install the HP NetRAID-4M Cluster software following the
same procedure as described for the first node.
4
If the cluster nodes are running Windows NT, reinstall the
service pack on each node. If you originally installed Service
Pack 3 (which is integrated with Windows NT Enterprise
Server V4.0), you should upgrade to Service Pack 6A at this
time.
Moving Quorum to a Shared Container
When you installed Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS), you might
have established a temporary local quorum; if so, you should now
move the local quorum to a container on a shared channel, as
follows:
1
Use FAST or the CLI to create a new diskset and a single
container on that diskset. For optimal reliability and
performance, a RAID-5 set is strongly recommended.
2
To ensure that the drive letter for the shared container is
permanently assigned on both nodes, move the newly created
diskset to the second node and manually assign the same drive
letter to the shared container on the second node.
3
Use the MSCS Cluster Administrator to create a diskset
resource corresponding to the newly created diskset, and move
quorum to this diskset resource. For information on creating a
diskset, container, and diskset resource, see the
Flexible Array
Storage Tool User
’
s Guide
.
Caution:
When assigning quorum, do not use a mirror set or
stripe set of mirror sets (RAID 0/1) as the quorum device
