Installing the Microsoft Cluster Server
Complete the following steps to install the Microsoft Cluster Server:
1. If you do not have Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition installed
already, install it with Service Pack 3 (or later) on both servers. Do not install
the Microsoft Cluster Server software. When prompted, deselect the option to
install MSCS; it will be installed later in this procedure.
Note: The Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition CD contains
Service Pack 3.
For information on installing Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition, see the
documentation that is included with it. When you are finished, return to this
step and continue with this procedure.
2. Use the ServeRAID Manager program to scan for new drives on both servers.
Right-click on the controller, and click Scan for new or removed ready
drives .
3. On Server A, run the utility IPSHAHTO.EXE from the IBM ServeRAID Cluster
Solution for Windows NT and Windows 2000 diskette or the IBM ServeRAID
Support CD. At a Windows NT command line, type one of the following:
If installing from CD
e :\winnt\cluster\support\ipshahto
If installing from diskette
a :\support\ipshahto
where a is the diskette drive letter and e is the CD-ROM drive letter.
Running the IPSHAHTO program makes all the shared logical drives available
for access by Server A.
4. Using the Windows NT Disk Administrator, format all shared logical drives as
NTFS (NT File System), assign volume labels, and specify drive letters for
each.
Important
Before creating the ServeRAID logical cluster resource, you must assign a permanent
(sticky) drive letter to the shared logical drive on both servers. The two servers must have
the same drive letters on each shared drive. If you do not assign permanent drive letters,
Windows NT might assign different drive letters on each server. Assigning a permanent
drive letter ensures that Windows NT assigns the same drive letter to the partition on both
servers.
Notes:
a. It is helpful if the volume label contains the drive letter you assigned to the
drive, such as DRIVE E.
b. If you want to use the disk in a cluster, create only one partition on the
disk. Make the partition the full size of the disk and format the partition to
NTFS.
5. On Server B, run IPSHAHTO.EXE to make all shared logical drives available
for access by Server B.
6. On Server B, use the Windows NT Disk Administrator to assign the same drive
letters that you assigned to each drive on Server A.
Note: Use the volume label as a guide to make sure you assign the same
letters on Server B as you assigned on Server A.
