HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide for Windows (5697-1822, March 2012)

You must reboot the server(s) on the destination storage system or re-scan the disks in the Disk
Manager before and after installing the cluster software, and when you add storage in read-only
mode on the destination side.
2. Install MSCS on all cluster nodes.
3. Select Majority Node Set quorum with file share witness as the cluster's quorum resource.
Quorum disks as a quorum resource are not supported with HP 3PAR Cluster Extension
Software.
4. Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 only: Run the Microsoft ClusPrep tool to validate your cluster.
If the Failover Cluster Validation Report lists a failed storage test, you can ignore this error.
For more information, see the following Microsoft TechNet document: http://
technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/b153c638-ff53-4470-8b72-010046b8dcc6.aspx.
After the cluster software is installed, you can install HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software on
all cluster nodes that have an FC connection to the local or remote 3PAR storage system and
are used to access storage resources on the 3PAR storage system. For installation instructions,
follow the procedure in “Installing HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software for Windows”
(page 11).
If the system that acts as an arbitrator or tiebreaker is not connected to either 3PAR storage
system, you do not need to install the software on that cluster node.
