4-10 Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
6. Select Windows 2000 Advanced Server when prompted. After the
hardware configuration utility has run, SmartStart will automatically run
the Array Configuration Utility.
7. Use the Array Configuration Utility to configure the server's array
controller. Do not configure the RA4000 Controller at this time as you
will incur data loss on the cluster's shared storage.
NOTE: Node 2 Exception: In Step 8 when configuring Node 2, exit out of the Diskette
Builder Utility and go to Step 9.
8. Create the Options ROMPaq in the Diskette Builder Utility. Label the
diskettes you create. The Options ROMPaq can be used to update the
firmware on the array controllers and the hard drives. For more
information about Options ROMPaq, refer to the user guide for the
Compaq StorageWorks RA4000/4100. The node will reboot to prepare
for the operating system installation.
9. Insert the Windows 2000 CD when prompted. Follow the on-screen
instructions to install Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
10. Power down the server, insert the Options ROMPaq diskette in Node 1,
and restart the system.
IMPORTANT: When updating the firmware on the RA4000 Controllers, make sure that
Node 2 is powered off.
IMPORTANT: Node 2 Exception: Do not update the firmware on the RA4000 Controllers
when setting up Node 2.
11. Run Options ROMPaq from the diskettes and choose to update the
firmware on the controllers.
12. Power down the storage and Node 1 after the firmware update
completes.
13. Power up the storage (wait for the drives to spin), then power on
Node 1.
14. Open the Disk Management utility. If prompted for drive signature
stamp, choose "Yes." If prompted to upgrade disks, choose "No"
because MSCS does not support dynamic disks in a cluster.
15. Repeat steps 2 through 14 for setting up Node 2 using SmartStart
Assisted Integration taking care to follow the Node 2 exceptions.
16. Install Secure Path on both Nodes following the installation instructions
in Chapter 3.
