21. Run CCVU again to verify successful cluster installation.

Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com) or the Compaq High Availability
website (http://www.compaq.com/highavailability).
Manual Configuration Using SmartStart
Performing a manual configuration with SmartStart minimizes SmartStart's
involvement. The manual configuration routine runs Compaq's System
Configuration Utility. When you are prompted for the Microsoft
Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD, SmartStart transfers the installation
procedure to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Follow the instructions on the
Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation screens.
IMPORTANT: Prior to the installation of Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server,
upgrade the system ROM on each node with the latest ROMPAQ from the Compaq
website at http://www.compaq.com/support.
Use the SmartStart manual configuration procedure to configure the servers
(nodes) in the HA/F100 configuration. You will set up two nodes during this
process. Go through all steps on each of the nodes with noted exceptions. The
following steps will take you through the SmartStart manual configuration
procedure.
Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation
The SmartStart setup poster describes the general flow of configuring and
installing software on a single node. The installation for a Compaq ProLiant
Cluster HA/F100 will be very similar. The difference between running
SmartStart on a stand-alone node and running SmartStart for a cluster is that
you can configure the shared drives using the Compaq Array Configuration
Utility. For cluster configuration, configure the drives on the first node, and
then accept the same settings for the shared drives if given the option on the
second node.
Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server on an HA/F100 Cluster 2-5
CAUTION: Installation using SmartStart assumes that SmartStart is being
installed on new nodes. Any existing data on the nodes' boot drive will be
erased.
