Contents of this Guide Introduction Contents of this Guide This guide contains the following chapters: ● Introduction – this chapter ● Overview-Clustering with 3200S RAID Controllers– Provides a quick rundown of the steps needed for installing an RAID system into a cluster server, and highlights of the hardware and software available for this purpose at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. ● System Requirements and Configurations – presents a list of system requirements for the installation.
Overview SCSI-Clustering with PRIMERGY Servers and PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystems The use of PRIMERGY Servers with 3200S RAID controller and PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem simplify clustering of business critical applications.
Configuration Overview ● Overview Manageability MSCS lets administrators view the status of cluster resources and move the server workload onto different servers within the cluster as necessary. This allows an administrator to perform manual load balancing or rolling updates on the servers without taking data storage or applications offline. Configuration Overview Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMERGY Server and Storage Subsystems include support for MSCS host configurations.
Overview Adaptec 3200S RAID Controller Adaptec 3200S RAID Controller, Overview The 3200S RAID controller provides two Ultra 160 SCSI channels for the connection of up to 30 individual drives into an array. For clustering operation, up to 7 drives may be connected to each channel. 3200S BIOS configuration utility may be used to configure the array and must be used to set the system into cluster mode when it is configured.
PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem Overview PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem The PRIMERGY S30 provides an optimum environment for the storage subsystem being used for clustered servers addressed in this document.
Overview Configuration Utilities Configuration Utilities Storage Manager A graphical user interface (GUI) utility application to interact with the storage subsystem. It provides an intuitive graphical interface that enables you to do such things as create and manage RAID arrays and establish the means of notifying users of disk failures, etc. The Storage Manger package also provides SNMP agents for event notification to Server View the Fujitsu Siemens Computers Server Management Utility.
System Requirements/Configurations System Requirements Servers ● Two PRIMERGY servers as Cluster Node Server ● Domain Controller (NT4 or W2K Active Directory) Cluster Nodes ● The two Cluster Node Servers must be the same type and must have the same configuration ● Hard Drive for Operating ● OS to be installed on the ”on-board” SCSI controller or on an SCSI HBA like ASC29160 or on an RAID controller like 2100S. The Operating System cannot be installed on the shared bus.
System Requirements Requirements/Configurations LAN ● Hub/Switch for public network connections and domain controller ● Cross-over network cable or Hub/Switch for interconnection (directly attaches the nodes of the cluster and nothing else).
Requirements/Configurations System Overview System Overview Here is an illustration of what the complete system should look like.
Installation Configuring the 3200S RAID Controller This section shows how to install and setup the 3200S RAID controller and connect both nodes to the PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem. The following installation instructions require both server nodes in the cluster server to be powered down for the installation of the controller cards. Install Memory Cache The 3200S RAID controllers have 1x 32MB or 2x32MB of memory installed as shipped from the factory.
Configuring the 3200S RAID Controller Installation Memory Installation i Important: Same cache size for both cluster RAID controllers! Installing Battery Backup Module The Battery Backup Module provides power to keep the cache memory contents during a power outage. Ê Attach the module to the controller, connecting P12 on the Battery Backup Module to J12 on the controller. Ê Install the Battery Backup Module mounting hardware provided with the ABM-100 in the four holes adjacent to P12.
Installation Installing the 3200S RAID Controller Jumper Settings There are no jumpers settings that need to be set on any Adaptec controllers to set-up for cluster operation. Jumper settings that are available are covered in the installation guide. Ê Attach the module to the controller, connecting P12 on the Battery Backup Module to J12 on the controller.
Configuring the PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem Installation Configuring the PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem Hardware Hard drives The SCSI drives will be automatically configured for proper ID as they are inserted. Remember that SCSI IDs 6 and 7 are being used by the 2 RAID controllers in the servers, and the S30 will use SCSI ID 8 for in-band monitoring (SAF-TE).
Installation Cable Connections ● Automatic isolation of the concerned SCSI input in the case of no TERMPWR signal detection (removing of jumper can disable that). ● SAF-TE Controller for OLR Control and Cabinet Diagnostic ● Automatic SCSI Reset Generation in case of Drive Insertion only.

Installation Outline for the Cluster setup Outline for the Cluster setup To add an RAID array to a Windows 2000 Cluster server: Ê Assemble everything needed for the installation. Ê Configure the controller cards as desired for memory and battery backup capability. Ê Power the cluster servers down completely. Ê Install both controller cards in the PRIMERGY Servers. Ê Install the hard drives in the PRIMERGY S30 Storage Subsystem. Ê Connect the controller cards to the Dual Input Modules in the PRIMERGY S30.
Power Sequencing Installation Ê Configure all HDDs to the appropriate the RAID level for the cluster (shared SCSI-BUS). ! ATTENTION! Wait until the build is finished for all RAIDs. Ê Enable the Cluster support (repeat step3). ! ATTENTION! Is the cluster support enabled you cannot change the RAID configuration. Ê Boot the Operating system NT Enterprise Edition 4.0 SP6 or W2K Advanced Server on Node 1 and partition the ”shared disks” (W2K basic disks).
Installation BIOS Configuration Utility BIOS Configuration Utility Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility (SMOR) Ê Boot up the Server Ê Press when you see a message similar to the following: BIOS v0001.
BIOS Configuration Utility Installation Initiating ID Settings Ê From the above opening screen, click the controller being configured in the left frame. Ê Click the bus being configured. Ê In the right frame, click the ID# shown (it should be 7). Press the down-arrow key to make the ID# = 6. i Because the storage subsystem and controllers are on a common SCSI bus, both controllers must have a unique SCSI ID.
Installation BIOS Configuration Utility Ê Press ALT+F10 and then ALT+D to make the ”Cluster Server Enable“ option visible. Ê Select the ”Cluster Server Enable“ option and enable it. Turn this service on by highlighting the box and pressing the ENTER key. i Cluster mode allows the controller to operate as part of a cluster. When you enable cluster mode, the system automatically disables SMOR or any other utility from making changes to the RAID array.
Driver Installation Installation Driver Installation To install the driver for the 3200S RAID controller you can either use the PRIMERGY ServerStart CD or a driver floppy disk. Installation with ServerStart CD Ê Put the ServerStart CD into the CD-ROM drive Ê Follow the instructions of the guided ServerStart installation process Installation with driver floppy disk Ê Create a driver floppy disk from the disk image on the PRIMERGY ServerStart CD.
Installation Cluster Service Installation Ê Create partitions via Disk Manager: Choose appropriate drive letters. It’s recommended to use Q for the Quorum disk and start from Z going backwards for the other logical drives. So, if there is a Quorum drive and 3 other partitions, the other logical drives would be Z, Y and X. To make things easier to track, label the volume with an intuitive name or the drive letter.
Installing the RAID Application Installation Installing the RAID Application Installing Storage Manager Storage Manager is a GUI utility that lets you efficiently configure, and monitor a RAID array locally or over a network with several servers. This is supported on Windows NT and 2000 servers and is capable of monitoring and reporting RAID status. All of the configuration utilities are on the PRIMERGY ServerStart CD delivered with the PRIMERGY Servers. Installation is almost automatic.
Hints ● Only symmetric Primergy Cluster configurations are released ● Create cluster RAID configurations and Hot Spare drives only in SMOR. ● Wait until the build has finished before set the Cluster bit in SMOR. ● Both controllers must have the same size of cache. ● No changes in the RAID configuration possible after set cluster enable in SMOR ● Only the SMOR shows the parameter bit `Cluster Enable`, not the Storage Manager.
Hints The following describes some error situations: Situation: Remarks: After a reboot with a missing Hot Spare Do not make reboots with missing the later inserted drive will be shown as Hot Spare drives. unconfigured. Sometimes after multiple rebuilds finish Move resource to the other node to the read drive LED continues blinking. update the GEM chip on the SCSI backplane. It is not possible to delete a redirect with Use SMOR. Storage Manager (Cluster enabled).
