configure both nodes in the cluster. If using remote mirroring, there is a primary
node at each site. A single node gateway is its own primary node. It is this
primary node's IP address that is used first (for accepting the software license
agreement and "Installing the Web-based System Manager Remote Client" on
page 15). When remote mirroring, the remote site's primary node is used first.
After Step 1 of initial configuration completes on the remote site primary node,
then you must log on to the local site primary node to complete Step 2 of initial
configuration for the entire geographic cluster.
volumes on the NAS Gateway 500. You do this through standalone clients,
using the software provided by the storage manufacturer. If you need the World
Wide Port Name (WWPN) for the fibre channel host bus adapters installed in
your NAS Gateway 500, open a Web browser and enter:
http://HostAddress/NAS500GetWWN.html
where HostAddress is the host name or IP address that is assigned to the NAS
Gateway 500 (or, in the case of a cluster, a specific node).
The NAS Gateway 500 is capable of attaching to multiple types of disk storage
devices and uses different device drivers depending on the device to which it is
attached. If you are using a device that requires the usage of the Subsystem
Device Driver (SDD) in a clustered environment, the process of configuring a
NAS volume is slightly altered. The driver must be installed before you define
any NAS volumes.
Caution: Do not perform any NAS volume configuration before installing the
SDD. You will lose your volume configuration information if you install
the SDD afterwards.
See Chapter 13, "Using the Volume Wizard," on page 59 for information about
the SDD and how it changes NAS volume configuration.
