Shared disk requirements
NOTE:
Do not let more than one node access the shared storage devices at the same time until Cluster service
is installed on at least one node and that node is online. This can be accomplished through selective
storage presentation, SAN switch zoning, or having only one node online at all times.
•
All software components listed in the
HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and
Management
white paper (located on the server documentation CD) must be installed and the
fi
ber cables attached to the HBAs before the cluster installation is started.
•
All shared disks, including the quorum disk, must be accessible from all nodes.
•
All shared disks must be con
fi
gured as basic (not dynamic).
•
All partitions on the disks must be formatted as NTFS.
Cluster installation
During the installation process, nodes are shut down and rebooted. These steps guarantee that the data
on disks that are attached to the shared storage bus is not lost or corrupted. This can happen when
multiple nodes try to simultaneously write to the same disk that is not yet protected by the cluster software.
Use
Table 17
to determine which nodes and storage devices should be presented during each step.

At this point all cluster nodes should be

To con

gure the Cluster service on the storage server, an account must have administrative permissions
on each node. All nodes must be member servers within the same domain. It is not acceptable to have a
mix of domain controllers and member servers in a cluster.
Setting up networks
Each cluster node requires at least two network adapters—one to connect to a public network, and one
to connect to a private network consisting of cluster nodes only.
