Install all other hardware devices in the new node. 6. If the new node is part of a rack system, place the server in the rack. Attach the interconnect, LAN, and power cables. IMPORTANT: Do not attach the Fibre Channel cables until the HBA drivers, Fibre Channel software, and Secure Path software are installed. 7.
Managing Your ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 Cluster Backup The need for cluster backup is essential for both business-critical and nonbusinesscritical data. As data becomes an increasingly valued company asset, it needs to be backed up on a regular basis. The process of backing up data will ensure that a company’s assets are secure and available when a disaster strikes.
4 Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 This chapter addresses potential problems you may encounter as you install, configure, test, and operate your ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array.
Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 Physical Disk Resources Cannot Be Brought Online 4-2 • Both cluster nodes must be rebooted after installing Microsoft Cluster software. If you have not done so, reboot the two nodes, one node at a time. • Verify that there are no hardware errors or transport problems by using Event Viewer. Look in the event log for disk I/O error messages or indications of problems with the communications transport.
Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 Disk Drive Not Discovered After installing Secure Path on a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 system, not all disk drives may be discovered. You might see a Computer Management screen similar to Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: Disk drive not discovered IMPORTANT: Perform the correction for this problem before installing the cluster software. To correct this discrepancy, uninstall the disk device and perform a hardware rescan.
Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 Troubleshooting Node-to-Node Connectivity Problems Check the following if the second node cannot join the cluster: • Check the cluster IP address resource properties to be sure that the cluster has a valid IP address and subnet mask and that the IP address does not conflict with an IP address that is already in use on the network. • If the cluster nodes use DHCP to obtain noncluster IP addresses, use ipconfig.
Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 • If the second node was powered on before either the Fibre Channel Switch or the storage subsystem, shut down the second node, turn it off, then turn it on. The storage subsystem components must be powered on before the servers. • Verify the zoning configuration.
Troubleshooting the ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 Controller Battery Failure If one of the batteries fails on a controller, all of the virtual disks will be presented to the hosts through the second controller.
