NOTE

Hardware Connections

For cluster hardware interconnection, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
1. Disconnect the back-end and VPN (if applicable) network interfaces until after the cluster has been completely
installed. They may be reconnected and configured later, but not until the procedures of this document have been
completed.
CAUTION
2. For detailed hardware installation instructions, schematic diagrams, and component nomenclature, refer to the
Command View SDM Installation and User manual, Secure Manager VA manual, AutoPath for Windows 2000
manual, and the VA Configuration poster described in the preceding paragraph.
CAUTION
3. Following the directions in the Command View SDM Installation and User manual, Secure Manager VA manual,
and AutoPath for Windows 2000 manual, set up the VA external storage array, Fibre Channel storage hub or
switch, GBIC interface converters, and the cables for each node.
4. Using the VA Configuration poster, attach the servers to the storage hub.

In the future, the documentation listed below will be supplied in kit form as part of the
VA 7100/7400 Series cluster kit
Use the manuals and configuration poster as additional guides and information. Do not use the
configuration poster and its instructions as replacements for the procedures of this document.
Use of hardware not certified or approved by HP, unless specifically indicated in this procedure,
may result in the improper operation of any or all components comprising the cluster. Different
hardware, such as the FCAL or SCSI RAID controllers, HBAs, storage hubs, fabric switches,
Fibre Channel GBICs, fiber optic cabling (short-wave or long-wave, distinguished by color
coding), or server models may require additional configuration procedures, not contained in this
document. Refer to the manuals and configuration poster described in the preceding paragraph for
detailed information associated with the installation and configuration of vendor-specific
hardware and/or software.
The storage array should be powered up before either server node is powered up. Also, power
down both server nodes before the storage array is powered down.
It is critical that both server nodes be set up exactly the same; that is, identical components should
be used and installed in identical locations on both nodes.
