12. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for the second storage adapter.

13. Power down the second server.

14. Attach the cables for the second storage adapter to the shared 

enclosure, and power up the second server.

15. If a configuration mismatch occurs, enter the <Ctrl> <M> utility, then 

go to the Configure-> View/Add Configuration > View Disk menu to 
view the disk configuration. 

16. Save the configuration.

17. Proceed to the driver installation for a Microsoft cluster environment.

4.3.1

Driver Installation Instructions under Microsoft Windows 2000 
Advanced Server

After the hardware is set up for the MS cluster configuration, perform the 
following procedure to configure the driver under Microsoft Windows 
2000 Advanced Server. Note that when the storage adapter is added 
after a Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation, the operating 
system detects it.

1.

When the Found New Hardware Wizard screen displays the detected 
hardware device, click on Next. 

2.

When the next screen appears, select Search for a suitable driver, 
and click on Next.

The  Locate Driver Files screen appears.

3.

Insert the floppy diskette with the appropriate driver disk for Windows 
2000, then select Floppy disk drives on the screen and click on 
Next.

The Wizard detects the device driver on the diskette; the “Completing 
the upgrade device driver” wizard displays the name of the device. 

4.

Click on Finish to complete the installation.

5.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 to install the device driver on the second 
system.

After the cluster is installed and both nodes are in the Microsoft 
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, the system detects a SCSI 
processor device.
