Introduction to establishing a NAS cluster
The SAN connection tool must be completed and all the
necessary software components for connecting to the desired
storage must be installed before the configuration of cluster
services.
It is required that at least one LUN has been presented for the
configuration of the Quorum disk. This LUN must be created
from shared storage and must be at least 50 MB (500 MB is
recommended). Additional LUNS may also be presented for use
as shared disk resources.
Note:
The version of Storage Manager (Quota Management
software located under the
Shares
tab) that comes installed on the
StorageWorks NAS is not supported in a cluster. It must be uninstalled
prior to creating the cluster. The SRM uninstall tool is located in the
Cluster Installation Guide under the Cluster tab in the WEBUI.
Once cluster installation has been completed, follow the
procedure for software updates later this chapter under the
heading “
HP StorageWorks NAS software updates
” on page 44.
This must be done after the cluster install is complete. It is
necessary to run this tool on all cluster nodes.
Checklists for cluster server installation
This checklist assists in preparing for installation. Step-by-step
instructions begin after the checklist.
