Checking the ownership of a physical drive A physical drive that is owned (and configured) on Server B will appear in the ready or defunct state on Server A. To determine if a ready drive is owned by the other server, do the following: 1. In the Main Tree, click the controller that contains the ready drives. Ó 2. Click Actions Clustering actions. 3. Click View shared drives. The View shared drives window opens. 4. Click Enable view shared drives. 5. Select the SCSI channel and SCSI ID of a physical drive on a shared channel. 6. Click OK. Physical drives that are available for use are labeled Ready in the Main Tree. If the physical drive is not available for use (that is, it is owned by the other server), the drive is labeled Reserved in the Main Tree. Important: Hot-spare drives owned by the other server are not labeled Reserved. Be sure you do not inadvertently use a hot-spare drive in both servers. Adding logical drives to a cluster If you want to add logical drives to a cluster, do the following: 1. Install the hard disk drives in the server or shared expansion enclosure. For installation information, refer to the documentation that is included with the hard disk drive and the server. Attention: Physical drives that are configured by one controller in the pair must appear as ready drives to the other controller in the pair. Be sure to verify this status when you add drives after the servers are started. Before creating logical drives, restart both servers, or scan for new drives using the ServeRAID Manager program on both servers, to make sure the added physical drives appear as ready drives on both servers. 2. Using the ServeRAID Manager program, configure the physical drives for the ServeRAID controller. Refer to "Installing and configuring ServeRAID controllers" on page 139 for instructions. Note: If the drives will be shared, define only one logical drive per array. 3. In the Main Tree, click the controller for the cluster. 4. Click 5. on the tool bar.

Installing and configuring ServeRAID controllers

177

Checking the ownership of a physical drive

A physical drive that is owned (and configured) on Server B will appear in the ready

or defunct state on Server A. To determine if a ready drive is owned by the other

server, do the following:

In the Main Tree, click the controller that contains the ready drives.

Click

Actions

Clustering actions

Click

View shared drives

. The View shared drives window opens.

Click

Enable view shared drives

Select the SCSI channel and SCSI ID of a physical drive on a shared channel.

Click

. Physical drives that are available for use are labeled

Ready

in the Main

Tree. If the physical drive is not available for use (that is, it is owned by the other

server), the drive is labeled

Reserved

in the Main Tree.

Important:

Hot-spare drives owned by the other server are not labeled

Reserved

Be sure you do not inadvertently use a hot-spare drive in

both

servers.

Adding logical drives to a cluster

If you want to add logical drives to a cluster, do the following:

Install the hard disk drives in the server or shared expansion enclosure. For

installation information, refer to the documentation that is included with the hard

disk drive and the server.

Attention:

Physical drives that are configured by one controller in the pair must

appear as ready drives to the other controller in the pair. Be sure to

verify this status when you add drives

after

the servers are started.

Before creating logical drives, restart both servers, or scan for new

drives using the ServeRAID Manager program on both servers, to

make sure the added physical drives appear as ready drives on both

servers.

Using the ServeRAID Manager program, configure the physical drives for the

ServeRAID controller. Refer to

“

Installing and configuring ServeRAID

controllers

”

on page 139 for instructions.

Note:

If the drives will be shared, define only one logical drive per array.

In the Main Tree, click the controller for the cluster.

Click

on the tool bar. A window similar to the following opens.
