v If you have multiple appliances or cannot determine the DHCP
address, you can install the IAACU utility to identify appliances
and define IP addresses. The tool will also allow you to set static
addresses.
2. Complete the steps in “Setting the date and time” on page 10 and
“Setting up the network” on page 11.
Step 2 - Define storage and setup partitions
The NAS Gateway 300 attaches to your SAN-attached storage device,
through the Fibre Channel, and provides your Ethernet LAN-attached clients
access to that storage. You must define storage arrays and logical drives on
the SAN-attached storage device and set up Windows partitions on the
logical drives as defined in Chapter 4, “Setting up storage” on page 27.
For more information on defining storage and setting up partitions, see
Chapter 4, “Setting up storage” on page 27.
Step 3 - Complete network setup and cluster installation
1. Power on either node. (This becomes the first node.)
2. Set up the first node:
a. Networking setup
See “Networking setup” on page 33. Note the cautionary statement
at the beginning of that section.
b. Domain setup
See “Joining a node to a domain” on page 36.
3. Shut down the first node (see “Shutting down and powering on the NAS
Gateway 300” on page 87 for more information on shutting down the
NAS Gateway 300).
4. Power on the other node (the joining node).
5. Set up the joining node:
a. Networking setup
See “Networking setup” on page 33.
b. Shared storage setup
For the joining node, the only part of this step that you must
complete is assigning drive letters on the shared storage; make sure
that the drive letters are the same as those on the first node.
Also, if you have trouble with the Fibre Channel connection, you can
use the steps in “Fibre Channel adapter” on page 104 to diagnose
the problem.
c. Domain setup
See “Joining a node to a domain” on page 36.
d. Shut down the joining node (see “Shutting down and powering on
the NAS Gateway 300” on page 87 for more information on shutting
down the NAS Gateway 300).
6. Power on the first node and complete “Cluster setup” on page 39.
7. Power on the joining node and complete “Cluster setup” on page 39.
For more information on network setup and cluster installation, see
Chapter 5, “Completing networking, clustering, and storage access setup”
on page 33.
