MSCS and WSFC Notes
•
To use MSCS or WSFC configuration, install the driver for ETERNUS Disk storage systems or
either the Windows Server® 2008 R2 or the Windows Server® 2008 standard multipath driver
(msdsm) on each node (server), and then check the connections before MSCS or WSFC
installation.
•
Check the registry values by following the instructions in
"Chapter 9 Checking the Registry
Information" (page 26)
, after installing MSCS or WSFC.
•
When setting up the MSCS, a reset group must be set for the ETERNUS Disk storage
system. A reset group does not need to be set for WSFC.

Installing VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows
VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows should be installed as specified in its accompany-
ing documentation.

VERITAS Device Driver Installation (DDI)
If the ETERNUS Disk storage systems are connected to a configuration that uses the VERI-
TAS Storage Foundation for Windows, the VERITAS DDI will also need to be installed.
Note that the VERITAS DDI must be installed after the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Win-
dows installation.
Refer to the Symantec web-site for VERITAS DDI installation details.

Checking the Load Balance Policy setting
For multipath configurations, make sure that "Round Robin(Active/Active)" is set for the Load
Balance Policy setting.
