Configuring Server Node 1
1. Apply power to the shared storage area and boot server node 1 from the
SmartStart CD.
2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select
which language you would like to use and follow the installation
process.
3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Manual
Configuration 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’s 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 and
press Enter. After making a new selection, press Enter to accept the
change.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of 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.
8. Select Step 5: Save and Exit, then press Enter.
9. Select Save the Configuration and Restart the Computer, then press
Enter.
10. SmartStart is no longer involved in the installation process. Follow the
instructions offered by Windows NT.
11. After installing Windows NT and Service Pack 3, it will be necessary to
configure the shared storage area. Install the CR3500 Configuration
Utility located on the SmartStart CD.
