Installing Internal Disk Drives
One 9.1-GB disk drive is required per node. The Quick Install automatically
configures each internal drive with a 9.1-GB partition, even if the disk drive is
larger than 9.1-GB. This UnixWare partition cannot be modified, and other
UnixWare partitions cannot be added to this disk drive. After the Quick Install
is completed, non-UnixWare partitions can be added up to the maximum
capacity of the disk drive, or other disk drives can be installed for additional
partitions.
To install the internal disk drives, refer to the documentation included with the
drive and with the ProLiant DL380 server.
Installing the Public LAN NIC into a Cluster
Ethernet Interconnect
To connect a cluster using Ethernet interconnect to a public network, install an
NC3123 NIC into slot 1 of each node using the documentation that comes with
the NIC. This step is not needed for clusters that use the ServerNet I
interconnect.
Installing the ServerNet I Cluster Interconnect
If your ProLiant DL380 cluster uses ServerNet I as the cluster interconnect,
you must install the ServerNet I PCI adapter into slot 1 of each server. To
install the ServerNet I PCI adapter, refer to the documentation that comes with
the adapter for general installation guidelines.
■
Install one ServerNet I PCI adapter version 1.5e into slot 1 of each node.
■
Ignore the ServerNet I driver installation instructions in the adapter
installation guide. The required UnixWare ServerNet I device driver is
included with the SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters software and is
automatically installed during software installation.
■
Ignore the ServerNet I connection testing instructions in the adapter
installation guide. The software installation procedure includes testing
the connection.
