Important
Before beginning the procedure, consider the following:
v Read "ServeRAID considerations" on page 96, which contains important information on
ServeRAID considerations.
v Read "Configuring the controller for Microsoft Cluster Service using Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 2000" on page 99 for configuring Server A and Server B for the high-availability
cluster solution.
Important
Before beginning the procedure, ensure that you are using the IBM ServeRAID Device
Driver diskette (version 4.0, or later) during the installation of the Microsoft Windows NT
Server Enterprise Edition.
1. If you do not have Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition installed
already, install it with Service Pack 3 (or later) on both servers, but do not
install the Microsoft Cluster Service software. When the system prompts you,
deselect the option to install MSCS; it will be installed later in this procedure.
Note: The Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition CD contains
Service Pack 3.
For information on installing Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition, refer to
documentation that is included with it. When you are finished, return here and
continue with this procedure.
2. Use the ServeRAID Manager program to scan for new drives on both servers.
3. On Server A, run the utility IPSHAHTO.EXE from the IBM ServeRAID Windows
NT Cluster Solutions Diskette or the IBM ServeRAID Support CD.
v If you are using the diskette, type the following command from a Windows
NT command line:
a:\support\ipshahto
where a is the diskette drive letter.
v If you are using the CD, type the following command from a Windows NT
command line:
d:\programs\winnt\cluster\support\ipshahto
where d is the CD-ROM drive letter.
