Creating the Storage System

and Virtual Disks

1. Initialize the storage with a descriptive name. Decide how

to configure the disk groups during the initialization

process. Choose to create either multiple disk groups or a

single disk group.

2. Enter a license key if the management appliance requests

one.

3. Configure disk groups.

4. Set the storage system time.

5. Add the hosts to the storage system:

a. Select

Hosts.Hosts.

Hosts.

b. Click

c. Enter a host name.

d. Enter the correct IP address.

9. Create the cluster zone on the switch by using the

following command:

zonecreate "ClusterZoneName",

"HSVControllerAPortAlias;

HSVControllerBPortAlias;HostAConnectionAlias;

HostBConnectionAlias"

10.Verify the cluster zone by using the following command:

zoneshow

11.Create a zone configuration to integrate the switch cluster

zone and the controller zone by using the following

commands:

cfgcreate "ZoneConfigurationName",

"ClusterZoneName;ControllerZoneName"

cfgsave

cfgenable "ZoneConfigurationName"

A zone configuration is a set of one or more zones. When

zoning is enabled, one zone configuration is in effect. When

a zone configuration is in effect, all zones that are members

of that configuration are valid.

12.Check the created configuration by using the following

command:

zoneshow

13.Type in reboot to restart the switch that was just

configured.

14.Repeat the zoning steps for the second switch. Skip

the steps used to create the controller zone; there will

not

be a controller zone on the second switch.

15.Repeat the zoning steps for the remaining clusters.

Downloading the Latest FCA Driver

Use the following steps and Telnet commands to create a

controller zone, cluster zones, and a configuration zone. The

SAN switch has a graphical user interface (GUI) that can also

be used to create zoning. Refer to the switch documentation

for detailed information on using the GUI.

1. Telnet to the IP address of one of the switches.

2. Display the World Wide Names (WWNs) and port

information by using the following command:

switchshow

Record the complete 16-digit WWN and the port

information in the worksheet in Appendix B of the ProLiant

Cluster HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array Setup and

Installation Guide. The information in the worksheet will be

used in later steps.

3. Create aliases for the controller zone. The controller zone

consists of the SAN Appliance connections and the

controller connections. Use the following commands:

alicreate "SANApplianceAlias", "WWN"

alicreate "HSVControllerAPortAlias", "WWN"

alicreate "HSVControllerBPortAlias", "WWN"

4. Verify the controller zone aliases by using the following

command:

zoneshow

5. Create aliases for the server connections by using the

following commands:

alicreate "HostAConnectionAlias", "WWN"

alicreate "HostBConnectionAlias", "WWN"

6. Verify the server connection aliases by using the following

command:

zoneshow

7. Create the controller zone by using the following

command:

zonecreate "ControllerZoneName",

"SANApplianceAlias;HSVControllerAPortAlias;

HSVControllerBPortAlias"

8. Verify the controller zone by using the following command:

zoneshow

h. Be sure that the presented hosts are on the same LUN

number.

i. Select another physical disk and repeat steps a

through h until all the virtual disks in the cluster are

presented to the hosts.

Installing Secure Path

1. Install Secure Path using the latest kit. Follow the on-screen

instructions. Configure the host in Secure Path to reflect

the server and the monitor node.

Configuring Virtual Disks on the Host

1. Power down one server.

2. Use Disk Management or Disk Administrator and configure

the newly discovered drives:

3. Power down the first server.

4. Power up the second server to be sure that all the disk

drives are seen correctly. Be sure that both servers see the

drives identically and in the same sequence.

Installing Cluster Software

1. Shut down one of the nodes.

2. Install clustering on the first node.

3. Reboot the first node.

4. Power up the second node.

5. Install clustering on the second node and have it join the

existing cluster.

6. Reboot the second node.

7. Install your applications.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each cluster.
