Configure Servers
Before adding a server to a cluster, verify the following:
• The server is connected to the SAN if it will be accessing PSFS
filesystems.
• The server is configured as a fully networked host supporting the
services to be monitored. For example, if you want HP Clustered File
System to provide failover protection for your Web service, the
appropriate Web server software must be installed and configured on
the servers.
•If the hosts file has been modified, it should be consistent with the
DNS.
• The NICs on the servers in the cluster must be both logically and
physically configured and connected to unique subnets per NIC, or
bonded NIC.
Add a New Server to a Cluster
Use the following procedures to add a new server (and, optionally, a new
FibreChannel switch) to an existing cluster.
Add a New FibreChannel Switch
1. Stop the HP StorageWorks CFS service on all nodes. (Use the
Microsoft Management Console Services snap-in or the command net
stop matrixserver.)
