Configuring the System
The sections below provide instructions for configuring your ProLiant CL1850
system.
Preconfiguration Checks
■ Be sure you have sufficient software rights to install the operating
system and software applications on each server node.
■ All hardware must be installed before you install the software.
Configuring Server Node 1
1. Apply power to the shared storage array and boot server node 1 with the
SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select
the language you would like to use and follow the installation process.
3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Assisted
Integration path. Follow the guided installation process. If you need
help, refer to the online help by clicking on the Help button.
After the operating system has been selected, SmartStart runs the
System Configuration Utility and configures the server node hardware.
It is very important that the adapter card in each server node, connected
to the shared storage RAID controller, have a unique SCSI ID number.
4. To verify or change the SCSI ID number after the system configuration
is done, select Review or Modify Hardware Settings then press Enter.
This allows you to see all of the hardware settings.
5. Select Step 3: View or Edit Details.
6. Arrow down to Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI
Controller (Port1). Underneath this heading is a subheading titled SCSI
ID. To change the SCSI ID setting, highlight the SCSI ID option then
press Enter. After making a new selection, press Enter to accept the
change.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of the SCSI ID setting. When server node 2 is configured, it
cannot have the same ID as server node 1. For example, if server node 1 is set for SCSI
ID 7 then server node 2 must be set to ID 6.
7. Press F10 to exit.
