Chapter 13. Configuring ServeRAID controllers for clustering
Before configuring the ServeRAID controllers, you must first install the BIOS and
firmware. Refer to “Chapter 17. Updating the ServeRAID BIOS, firmware, and
software code for clustering” on page 133. Then, you must configure the ServeRAID
controller, define logical drives, and set up merge group numbers for your servers.

If you are installing the IBM ServeRAID Cluster Solution using Vinca and Novell
IntranetWare, refer to “Configuring the controller for Vinca High Availability for
Novell IntranetWare or Novell High Availability Server” on page 100.
Configuring the controller for Microsoft Cluster Service using
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
If you are configuring ServeRAID controllers for Microsoft Cluster Service on
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, follow these steps:
1. If necessary, perform any operating system shutdown procedure on both
servers that you are going to use in the cluster.
2. Turn off both servers.
3. If you have not done so, connect any shared external drive enclosures to both
servers; then, turn on the enclosures.
4. Follow the procedure “Configuring a controller for clustering” on page 100 for
each shared controller in Server A, then return here.
5. Continue with the procedure “Configuring ServeRAID arrays and a logical
drive” on page 102 for Server A, then return here.
6. Before you configure Server B, for complicated clusters you might want to use
View shared drives to identify Online drives in Server B as Reserved.
a. From Server A, right-click on the controller, select View shared drives.
b. Click the checkbox Enable view shared drives.
c. Set the channel and SCSI ID for the drives that are identified as Ready on
Server A and Online on Server B.
Drives used in the cluster will display as Reserved on Server B.
7. Follow the procedure “Configuring a controller for clustering” on page 100 for
each shared controller in Server B, then return here.
8. Remove the IBM ServeRAID Support CD from the CD-ROM drive.
9. Restart Server A and Server B.
10. If you are installing the IBM ServeRAID Cluster Solution using Microsoft
Cluster Service using Windows NT 4.0, go to “Installing the Microsoft Cluster
Service software on Windows NT 4.0” on page 107.
If you are installing the IBM ServeRAID Cluster Solution using Microsoft
Cluster Service using Windows 2000, go to “Installing the Microsoft Cluster
Service software on Windows 2000” on page 114.
Note: After you have completed installing the IBM ServeRAID Cluster Solution, use
the Validate cluster action in the ServeRAID Manager program to verify the
cluster configuration. See “Validating a cluster” on page 125 for more
information.
