Node . The name of the failed node will be removed from the left pane, and the
cluster will now contain only the operational node of the Model G27.
4. Attach a keyboard and display to the failed node.
5. Insert the Recovery Enablement Diskette into the diskette drive and place
Recovery CD-ROM 1 into the CD-ROM drive of the failed node.
Important
The Recovery Enablement Diskette enables the Model G27 to start from
the CD-ROM drive. You will not be able to restore the preload image from
the Recovery CD-ROM Set without first restarting the appliance using the
Recovery Enablement Diskette.
6. Restart the appliance.
7. If you installed additional processor memory on the appliance, the BIOS
configuration program will appear. Click Continue on the first panel, click
Continue again, click Exit Setup , and finally, click Yes, save and exit Setup .
8. When the diskette loads, you are prompted with a message which asks if you
want to proceed. Type Y to proceed. If you type N , you will be returned to a
command prompt.
9. The recovery process will begin automatically. Follow the instructions provided
by the image restoration software, and the original manufacturing preload will
be restored. During the restoration of the preload, you are prompted to insert
the other recovery CD-ROMs into the CD-ROM drive. When the preload image
is restored, the Model G27 restarts automatically. You may now remove
Recovery CD-ROM 3 from the CD-ROM drive.
10. If you installed additional processor memory, the BIOS configuration program
will now appear a second time. Click Continue on the first panel, click
Continue again, click Exit Setup , and finally, click Yes, save and exit Setup .
You can now detach the keyboard and display from the failed node and allow
the recovery process to complete automatically.
Important
After the node restarts, a series of configuration and system preparation
programs that finish configuring the node run automatically. These
programs must finish running before you use any included applications
(such as the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility or the Terminal
Services Client) to connect to or configure the Model G27. Do not
connect to or configure the node for at least 15 minutes after system
restart. This notice applies only to the first time the Model G27 is started
after using the Recovery CD-ROM Set.
Logical Disk 0 will be configured to have a 6-GB NTFS boot partition. Any
other previously configured logical disk drives, as well as the remainder
of Logical Disk 0 (which, on the original hard disk drive of the node,
contains the Maintenance partition, but for a replacement hard disk drive
would not contain any other partitions), will be unchanged.
11. Reinstall all software updates that you had installed on the node. Or, if the
Recovery CD-ROM Set that you used in this procedure is a newer version than
the one you received with the Model G27, reinstall only those software updates
that are newer than those on the Recovery CD-ROM Set.
