Beyond Initial Setup
Keep in mind that Cluster service will recognize only one network interface per
subnet. For assistance with TCP/IP addressing in Windows 2000, please see

Rename the Local Area Network Icons
HP recommends changing the names of the network connections for clarity. The
naming will help identify a network and correctly assign its role.
Verifying Connectivity and Name Resolution
To verify name resolution, ping each node from a client using the node's machine
name instead of its IP number.
Verifying Domain Membership
Both nodes in the cluster must be members of the same domain and able to access
a domain controller and a DNS Server.
Setting Up a Cluster User Account
The Cluster service requires a domain user account under which the Cluster
service can run. This user account must be created before installing Cluster
service, because setup requires a user name and password. This user account
should not belong to a user on the domain. This user account will need to be
granted administrator privileges.
About the Quorum Disk
To proceed, power off both nodes. Power up node one.
The quorum disk is used to store cluster configuration database checkpoints and
log files that help manage the cluster. The quorum disk must be a shared disk
resource. Follow these quorum disk recommendations:
54
Dedicate a separate disk for a quorum disk. As the failure of the quorum disk
would cause the entire cluster to fail, HP strongly recommendeds that the disk
be a RAID 1 configuration.
Write a basic signature and create a small partition. A minimum of 50
megabytes should be used as a quorum disk. HP recommends that a quorum
disk be 500 MB.
Assign the letter Q to the drive. Label the volume quorum.
