Preparing Your Systems for Clustering
4
Establish the physical network topology and the TCP/IP settings for
network adapters on each cluster node to provide access to the cluster
public and private networks.
5
Configure each cluster node as a member in the same Windows Active
Directory Domain.
NOTE:
You can configure the cluster nodes as Domain Controllers. For more
information, see the “Selecting a Domain Model” section of Dell Failover
Clusters with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide
or Dell Failover Clusters with Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide located on the Dell
Support website at support.dell.com .
6
Establish the physical storage topology and any required storage network
settings to provide connectivity between the storage array and the systems
that you are configuring as cluster nodes. Configure the storage system(s)
as described in your storage system documentation.
7
Use storage array management tools to create at least one logical unit
number (LUN). The LUN is used as a cluster Quorum disk for Windows
Server 2003 Failover cluster and as a Witness disk for Windows Server
2008 Failover cluster. Ensure that this LUN is presented to the systems
that you are configuring as cluster nodes.
NOTE:
For security reasons, it is recommended that you configure the LUN on
a single node as mentioned in step 8 when you are setting up the cluster.
Later, you can configure the LUN as mentioned in step 9 so that other nodes in
the cluster can access it.
8
Select one of the systems and form a new failover cluster by configuring
the cluster name, cluster management IP, and quorum resource. For more
information, see "Preparing Your Systems for Clustering" on page 27.
NOTE:
For Failover Clusters configured with Windows Server 2008, run the
Cluster Validation Wizard to ensure that your system is ready to form the
cluster.
9
Join the remaining node(s) to the failover cluster. For more information,
see "Preparing Your Systems for Clustering" on page 27.
10
Configure roles for cluster networks. Take any network interfaces that are
used for iSCSI storage (or for other purposes outside of the cluster) out of
the control of the cluster.
