Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation
The SmartStart Setup Poster describes the typical procedure for configuring
and installing software on a single server. The installation for Compaq
ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 will be similar. The difference
between running SmartStart on a stand-alone server and running SmartStart
for a cluster are noted below:
■
Through the Compaq Array Configuration Utility, you can configure the
shared drives on both servers. For cluster configuration, configure the
drives on the first server, then accept the same settings for the shared
drives when given the option on the second server.
■
When configuring drives through the Array Configuration Utility, create
a logical drive with 100MB of space to be used as the quorum disk.
