Preparing Your Systems for Clustering

The following sub-sections describe steps that enable you to establish
communication between the cluster nodes and your shared Dell|EMC AX4-5i
storage array, and to present disks from the storage array to the cluster. The
following installation procedures are discussed in the subsequent sections:

•

"Installing the iSCSI NICs" on page 30

•

"Installing the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator" on page 30

•

"Modifying the TCP Registry Settings" on page 31]

•
