3-14 Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation
The SmartStart setup poster describes the general flow of configuring and
installing software on a single server. The installation for a Compaq ProLiant
Cluster HA/F100 and HA/F200 will be very similar. The difference between
running SmartStart on a stand-alone server and running SmartStart for a
cluster are noted below:
Through the Compaq Array Configuration Utility, you can configure the
shared drives on both servers. For cluster configuration, configure the
drives on the first server, then accept the same settings for the shared
drives when given the option on the second server.
When configuring drives through the Array Configuration Utility, create
a logical drive with 100MB of space to be used as the quorum disk.
Assisted Installation Steps
IMPORTANT: Power off Node2 when setting up Node1.
1. Power on the shared storage. Place the SmartStart CD in the CD-ROM
drive of the cluster node and power on the node. The CD will
automatically run.
2. Select the Assisted Integration installation path.
Follow steps outlined in the SmartStart Setup Poster. Noted below are
some steps specific to configuring a server for use in the HA/F100 and
HA/F200.
3. When SmartStart prompts for the operating system, select Microsoft
Windows NT Server 4.0/Enterprise Edition (Retail) or Microsoft
Windows NT Server 4.0/Enterprise Edition (Select) as the operating
system. The edition of Windows NT that you select will be determined
by the version of the software you have.
4. After the hardware configuration has run, restart the computer.
5. When you restart the computer, SmartStart will automatically run the
Array Configuration Utility. Choose the custom configuration option to
create RAID sets on your RA4000 storage system. Refer to the Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide for more details.
IMPORTANT: Node2 Exception: When configuring Node2, the Array Configuration Utility
shows the results of the shared drives configured during Node1 setup. Accept these
changes for Node2 by exiting.
NOTE: Create a logical drive with 100MB of space to be used as the quorum disk.
