To migrate from HA/F100 Windows NTS/E to HA/F200/Windows 2000
Advanced Server, use the following steps:
1.
Move all cluster resources over to Node 2.
NOTE:
For help on moving cluster resources, refer to the Microsoft clustering
documentation that came with your operating system.
2.
Upgrade Node 1 to Windows 2000 Advanced Server:
a.
Run the Compaq Windows 2000 Primer utility on Node 1 to remove
any conflicting device drivers or applications that may cause
problems during the installation of Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
The Primer Utility can be downloaded from the Compaq website
(
http://www.compaq.com/partners/microsoft
). After the Primer has run, you
will be asked to reboot the node to finish the cleanup process.
b.
The node has been rebooted, insert the Windows 2000 Advanced
Server CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the Autorun feature for CDs
has been turned off, select Start and then Run. At the prompt type
X:\SETUP.EXE
, where X is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.
When asked if you want to upgrade Windows select Yes.
c.
Follow the on-screen instructions until you are required to log on to
the node.
d.
Log on to the node as the administrator.
NOTE:
After the Windows 2000 Advanced Server upgrade is complete, the Cluster
Service will fail to start since the DNS client for Node 1 has not been set up. The problem
that occurs is an authentication error with the user account used to start the Cluster
Service. The error message is expected and will be resolved after the DNS client is set up.
3.
Set up the DNS client on Node1:
a.
Right-click My Network Places and click Properties.
b.
Right-click on the network connection that the clients will use to
connect to the domain controller and click Properties.
c.
The Properties screen displays the current options available for the
selected network card. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and
click Properties.
d.
Enter the Preferred DNS Server IP address.
e.
Click the Advanced button and then select the DNS tab. Enter the
DNS suffix.
f.
After the client setup is complete, select Start, then select Shutdown.
From the shutdown screen, select Log Off Administrator, then log
back into the system. This ensures that the domain controller has
properly authenticated the machine and user ID.
