2.
Install the latest drivers and server support software by running the
Compaq Support Paq for Windows 2000 on Node 1:
This is done by inserting the SmartStart CD and selecting Start and
then Run. In the dialog box that displays, type
X:\cpqsupsw\ntcsp\setup.exe
where X is the drive letter associated with
your CD-ROM drive.
You can also acquire and run the latest Compaq Support Paq from
the Compaq website (
http://www.compaq.com/support
).
After the installation is completed, the Compaq Support Paq window
will show, the drivers that were updated and the drivers that were not
installed due to a current version of the driver on the node or due to a
lack of hardware on the node.
3.
Install Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 on Node 1.
4.
Verify the RA4000 Controller firmware version levels:
a.
Determine the firmware version of the controllers in the current
cluster by running the online Array Configuration Utility on Node 1,
selecting the RA4000 Controller and then clicking on the More
Information tab. The online Array Configuration Utility is installed
by running the Compaq Support Paq for Windows 2000 in Step 2 of
this migration procedure.
b.
Determine the firmware version on newly purchased controllers by
reviewing the documentation that came with the controllers.
IMPORTANT:
If the firmware version levels are not the same and at version 2.58 or later
you must update them to the same level as specified in Step 7.
5.
Install new hardware:
a.
Shut down Node 1 and install the second host bus adapter, additional
redundant RA4000 Controllers, the additional Fibre Channel storage
hub or FC-AL switch and cables as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure that your HA/F200 cluster fails over properly, attach each host
bus adapter in a single server to a different Fibre Channel storage hub or FC-AL switch,
and attach each RA4000 Controller in the RA4000/4100 to a different Fibre Channel
storage hub or FC-AL switch. See the installation procedures in Chapter 3.
IMPORTANT:
If using the Compaq StorageWorks FC-AL Switch 8 be sure to properly set
up the Port LIP Propagation Policies correctly. See Chapter 3 for more details.
b.
Turn on Node 1 and run the System Configuration Utility by
pressing
F10
when prompted during boot time.
