Installing Node 1
Before beginning the installation, select the set of Quick Install CDs for your
cluster configuration. Choose the CDs for either the ServerNet I cluster
interconnect or Ethernet cluster interconnect.
NOTE:
To save time, you can install both nodes together. Be sure node 1 has rebooted
before rebooting node 2. Insert the CDs into the servers, power up the servers, and follow
the procedures for each node at the same time.
To install the software on node 1, follow these steps:
1.
Turn on the RA4100 and wait about 90 seconds for the RA4000
controllers to complete their POSTs.
2.
Power up node 1, and then insert the Quick Install CD for node 1 into
the CD-ROM drive. Wait while node 1 boots from the CD. A warning
message indicates that data will be lost.
3.
Press
Enter
to continue, or power down the system to abort the
installation.
The software begins to load and a progress bar indicates the installation
progress. When all software has been loaded, several screens request
necessary information.
