4. Click Actions → Restore to factory-default settings .
5. If a confirmation window opens, click Yes . When the operation is complete, a
message appears at the bottom of the window indicating that ServeRAID
Manager has successfully restored the configuration to the factory-default
settings.
6. In the ServeRAID Manager tree, click the ServeRAID controller that you are
configuring.
7. Click (
Configure for clustering
) on the toolbar. The “Configure for
clustering” window opens.
8. Provide the following information.
Controller name
Type a name to identify the first controller, for example, Server A.
Partner name
Type a name that you will use to identify the second controller, for
example, Server B.
Initiator IDs
The system presets these SCSI initiator IDs to 7. For Server A, set each
ID to 6 for shared channels. For Server B, ensure that each SCSI
initiator ID is set to 7 for shared channels. (The ServeRAID Manager
program does not permit you to select numbers other than 6 and 7.)
Notes:
a. The controller name and partner name are case sensitive.
b. If your configuration will contain multiple ServeRAID controller pairs, each
controller name must be unique.
9. Click OK . The controller is now configured for clustering.
Configuring ServeRAID arrays and a logical drive
Important
v
Define all shared logical drives on Server A.
v When defining shared logical drives, create only one logical drive for each array.
v Each controller must have its own hot-spare or standby hot-spare drive defined. This
means that you must not define the same hot-spare or standby hot-spare drive on both
controllers in the pair.
v Define hot-spare and standby hot-spare drives only on a shared channel.
