Chapter 5. Using the Initial Configuration Wizard
Prerequisites
Meet the following prerequisites before beginning the Initial Configuration Wizard:
All Configurations
Single node configurations
Clustered configurations
Remote Mirrored configurations
Individual wizards within the Initial Configuration Wizard
Note: The wizards are best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024x768. Use of
Single node systems, clustered systems, and Remote Mirrored systems order
individual wizards differently.
Single node systems

Have the completed Planning Guide worksheets available.
The NAS Gateway 500 is powered on and the operating system initialized.
This configuration refers to a clustered node pair at a single site.
1. Both nodes of the clustered NAS Gateway 500 must be installed in
adjacent locations in the same rack. This allows the Ethernet Crossover
cable and the serial null modem cable assembly to reach between all
nodes.
2. You must have an Ethernet crossover cable connecting both servers
through integrated Ethernet port number 2. This cable is included with
the Cluster Interconnect Kit (Feature Code 1001).
3. You must have a null modem cable assembly connecting both servers
using serial port 3 on both servers. This cable is included with the
Cluster Interconnect Kit (Feature Code 1001).
4. Both NAS Gateway 500s must be powered on and the operating system
must be initialized.
This configuration refers to a GeoCluster involving two sites with one to two
clustered nodes at each site.
1. Determine the number of nodes at each site in your geographic cluster,
and:
a. For sites with one cluster node ensure the prerequisites for a single
node are met.
b. For sites with two clustered nodes verify the prerequisites for
clustered configurations.
2. Ensure that at least one GeoNetwork can connect the local and remote
sites (use of more than one GeoNetwork is recommended).
Note: At least one GeoNetwork is required for configuration to succeed.
other resolutions results in the truncation of some data display fields.
A single node system has no Clustering and Remote Mirroring enabled. The
wizards run in the following order:
