1. If necessary, perform any operating system shutdown procedure on both
servers that you are going to use in the cluster.
2. Turn off both servers.
3. If you have not done so, connect any shared external drive enclosures to both
servers; then, turn on the enclosures.
4. Follow the procedure “Configuring a controller for clustering” for each shared
controller in Server A.
5. Continue with the procedure “Configuring ServeRAID arrays and a logical
drive” on page 82 for Server A.
Note: In a typical Novell environment, create the logical drives on the server
that will maintain primary ownership. For example, create one RAID
level-5 logical drive on Server A and one RAID level-5 logical drive on
Server B.
6. Follow the procedure “Configuring a controller for clustering” for each shared
controller in Server B.
7. Continue with the procedure “Configuring ServeRAID arrays and a logical
drive” on page 82 for Server B.
Note: If you define an online drive or hot-spare drive for Server A, you cannot
use that drive when creating arrays or hot-spare drives on Server B.
8. Restart Server A and Server B.
9. Install Novell NetWare on your servers. For installation information, refer to the
documentation that comes with your Novell NetWare software package.
10. Install the Vinca IntranetWare software on your servers. For installation
information, refer to the documentation that comes with Vinca High Availability
for NetWare and IBM ServeRAID II SCSI Controller.
