However, do not let the shared disk be accessed by both nodes at the same time
until Cluster Services has been installed on at least one node.
• All shared disks must be configured as basic (not dynamic).
All partitions on the disks must be formatted as NTFS.

Installation Overview

During the installation process, both nodes will be shut down and both nodes
will be rebooted. These steps are necessary to guarantee that the data on the
shared storage is not lost or corrupted. This can happen when multiple nodes try
to simultaneously write to a disk that is not yet protected by the cluster
software.
Use Table 1 below to determine which nodes and storage devices should be
presented during each step.

Table 1. Power Sequencing for Cluster Installation
To configure the Cluster service on the StorageWorks NAS server, the login
account must have administrative permissions on each node. Both nodes must
be member servers within the same domain.

Setting up Networks

Note: Do not let both nodes access the shared storage devices at the same time
until the Cluster service is installed on at least one Node And that node is
online. This can be accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN
switch zoning or having only one node online at all times.
