be accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN switch zoning or having
only one node online at all times.
• All software components listed in the SAN connection tool must be installed and
the fiber cables attached to the HBA(s) before the cluster installation is started.
• All shared disks, including the quorum disk, must be accessible from both nodes.
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 disks
that are attached to the shared storage bus is not lost or corrupted. This can
happen when multiple nodes try to simultaneously write to the same 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.
