Troubleshooting the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 6-3
continued
Possible Cause
Insufficient space on nonshared
drives for MSCS.
Operating system is incorrect or
deficient.
Hardware does not support
clustering.
Primary IP address is invalid.
Cluster nodes need to be
rebooted.
Hardware errors or
communications transport
problems.
You may not have waited long
enough to view the most up-to-
date data. Cluster Administrator
takes a snapshot of the registry
when it starts up.
Action
Ensure there is enough free disk
space for MSCS installation files.
Ensure Windows NTS/E and
appropriate service pack or
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
are installed.
Ensure the hardware supports
clustering. Run Compaq Cluster
Verification Utility (CCVU) to verify
that the hardware supports
clustering.
Verify that the addresses are
valid. If DHCP is used to obtain
noncluster IP addresses, run
IPConfig.exe to ensure the
network adapter cards have valid
IP addresses. If the second IP
address listed is 0.0.0.0, your
primary address is invalid.
Reboot cluster nodes after
installing MSCS.
Use Event Viewer to verify no
hardware errors or transport
problems exist. Check the event
log for disk I/O error messages or
indications of problems with the
communications transport.
Wait a minute, then click
Refresh (F5).
