An additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provided off of the iLO port. HP recommends that this connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the corporate infrastructure. - Page 21 Product Overview interruption. If interruption occurs, the remaining cluster node will assume the other node has gone down and initiate a failover. A second cluster heartbeat path is often recommended as a redundant path. The redundant path is often done over one of the remaining network segments and is not dedicated.

When connecting to an MSA, the HP StorageWorks NAS only supports MSA firmware version 2.38 and earlier. If using an MSA with firmware version 1.xx then obtain the free upgrade from the link provided at www.hp.com. This upgrade will need to occur before connecting the MSA to an HP StorageWorks NAS device. -
Page 51: Checklists For Cluster Server Installation
Beyond Initial Setup Checklists for Cluster Server Installation The following will assist in preparing for installation. Step-by-step instructions begin after these items have been discussed. Network Requirements Shared Disk Requirements Network Requirements A unique NetBIOS cluster name. Seven unique, static IP addresses: two for the network adapters on the private network, two for the network adapters on the public network, two for the virtual server resources, and one for the cluster itself. -
Page 52: Cluster Installation
Post-installation Presented At this point all nodes should be To configure the Cluster service on the HP StorageWorks NAS server, the account must have administrative permissions on each node. Both nodes must be member servers within the same domain. NAS e7000 v2 Quick Start Guide... -
Page 53: Configure The Private Network Adapter
Configure the Public Network Adapter While the public network adapter’s IP address can be automatically obtained if a DHCP server is available, this is not recommended for cluster nodes. HP strongly recommends setting static IP addresses for all network adapters in the cluster, both private and public. -
Page 54: Rename The Local Area Network Icons
Follow these quorum disk recommendations: 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. -
Page 55: Configuring Shared Disks
During installation of Cluster service on the first node, the second node must Note: either be turned off, or stopped prior to the HP StorageWorks NAS server booting. All shared storage devices should be powered up. In the first phase of installation, all initial cluster configuration information must be supplied so that the cluster can be created. - Page 56 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 11: Hardware configuration certification screen 7. Because this is the first node in the cluster, the cluster must be created. Select The first node in the cluster, as shown in Figure 12 and then click Next. NAS e7000 v2 Quick Start Guide...
- Page 57 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 12: Creating a new cluster 8. Enter a name for the cluster (up to 15 characters), and click Next. (In the example, the cluster name is MyCluster.) 9. Type the user name and password of the cluster service account that was created during the pre-installation.

Page 58: Configuring Cluster Disks
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring Cluster Disks Note: By default, all SCSI disks not residing on the same bus as the system disk will appear in the Managed Disks list. Therefore, if the node has multiple SCSI buses, some disks may be listed that are not to be used as shared storage (for example, an internal SCSI drive.) Such disks should be removed from the Managed Disks list. - Page 59 In any case, make sure at least two networks are used for cluster communication, as using a single network for node-to-node communication represents a potential single point of failure. HP recommends that multiple networks be used, with at least one network configured as a private link between nodes and other connections through a public network.
- Page 60 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 14: Public network connection 8. The next dialog box shown in Figure 15 configures the private network. Make sure that the network name and IP address correspond to the network interface used for the private network. 9.
- Page 61 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 15: Private network connection 11. Click Next. 12. In this example, both networks are configured in such a way that both can be used for internal cluster communication. The next dialog window offers an option to modify the order in which the networks are used. Because Private Cluster Connection represents a direct connection between nodes, it is left at the top of the list.
- Page 62 Beyond Initial Setup 13. Enter the unique cluster IP address and Subnet mask, and click Next. Figure 16: Cluster IP Address The Cluster Service Configuration Wizard shown in Figure 16 automatically associates the cluster IP address with one of the public or mixed networks. It uses the subnet mask to select the correct network.

Page 64: Configuring The Second Node
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring the Second Node Note: For this section, leave the first node on and power up the second node. Installing Cluster service on the second node requires less time than on the first node. Setup configures the Cluster service network settings on the second node based on the configuration of the first node. - Page 65 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 18: Cluster Resources The presence of two nodes (Entapp12 and Entapp13 in Figure 18) shows that a cluster exists and is in operation. 2. Right-Click on one of the groups and select the option Move. The group and all its resources will be moved to the other node.
