Preparing Your Systems for Clustering
Formatting and Assigning Drive Letters and Volume Labels to the Disks
1
Turn off all the cluster nodes except node 1.
2
Format the disks, assign the drive letters and volume labels on node 1 by
using the Windows Disk Management utility.
For example, create volumes labeled "Volume Y" for disk Y and "Volume Z"
for disk Z.
3
Turn off node 1 and perform the following steps on the remaining node(s),
one at a time:
a
Turn on the node.
b
Open Disk Management .
c
Assign the drive letters for the drives.
This procedure allows Windows to mount the volumes.
d
Reassign the drive letter, if necessary.
To reassign the drive letter:
• With the mouse pointer on the same icon, right-click and select
Change Drive Letter and Path from the submenu.
• Click Edit , select the letter you want to assign the drive (for
example, Z), and then click OK .
• Click Yes to confirm the changes.
e
Turn off the node.
If the cables are connected properly, the drive order is the same as is on
each node, and the drive letter assignments of all the cluster nodes follow
the same order as is on node 1. The volume labels can also be used to
double-check the drive order by ensuring that the disk with volume label
"Volume Z" is assigned to drive letter Z and so on for each disk on each
node. Assign drive letters on each of the shared disks, even if the disk
displays the drive letter correctly.
