[Notes on using MSCS (Microsoft Cluster Service) in a Windows Server 2003
environment]
When you use MSCS in a Windows Server 2003 environment, according to MSCS specifications,
Target ID and LUN (number) of the RAID Storage disk array that each server recognizes must be
set to the same values. A cluster cannot be set up if they are set to different values.
For details, refer to the URL below.

(1) Target ID
How to set the Target IDs of controllers of a disk array unit that are recognized by servers to
the same value is described below for each connection configuration.
Directly connecting disk array unit to server (HBA)
Set the Loop Switch IDs of disk array unit controllers to the same value.
The Switch ID that is set becomes the Target ID recognized by the server.
Also set the Loop Switch IDs of all connected controller ports to the same
value in the same way when the disk array unit is connected to the server by multiple
paths.
