HP Netserver LPr RS12/FC Installation Guide

HP NetServer Installation Guide 27
Install Windows NT
NOTE Windows NT must be installed from floppy disks, not the CD, so that the mass storage
drivers will be loaded correctly. If you have not created a set of Windows NT boot
floppy disks, see Software in part “1 What’s Needed” for additional information.
1. Remove the Navigator CD, insert the boot floppy for Windows NT4.0, and exit Navigator to reboot the
server.
2. When Setup prompts to detect mass storage devices, skip detection and manually specify the mass
storage drivers:
3. Load drivers using the NetRAID-3Si Cluster Firmware and Driver floppy disk you created in part 1
“What’s Needed” and the NT 4.0 Drivers floppy disk you created in step 10 above of this procedure.
• Load the driver for the device you want to boot from. This will be the HP NetRAID Adapter Driver.
If you are using a NetRAID-3Si Adapter for shared storage, load this driver from the NetRAID-3Si
Cluster Firmware and Driver floppy disk. Be sure to use the driver version specified for shared
storage in the Configuration Guide, since this driver is used for both the NetRAID local storage
adapter and the NetRAID-3Si shared storage adapter.
• Load the IDE driver from the NT 4.0 Drivers floppy disk, since the CD drive is on the IDE bus.
• Load any other mass storage drivers you need. If you are using the embedded SCSI channel, load
the Symbios driver from the NT 4.0 Drivers floppy disk at this time.
4. Continue the installation and select the following options when prompted:
• Choose the unpartitioned space and install Windows NT.
• Choose NTFS file system
• When prompted to search for a Network Adapter, load NIC drivers for both the intra-cluster and the
client LAN. Be sure to load the correct intra-cluster LAN driver version as specified in the
Configuration Guide for your cluster. If you are using two HP D5013A NICs, load the driver twice,
once for the intra-cluster NIC and once for the client NIC.
• Make sure TCP/IP Protocol is selected.
Other protocols may be selected in addition, but TCP/IP is required.
• If you are using two HP D5013A NICs, when prompted for TCP/IP Properties:
Make sure adapter [2] is highlighted and specify its IP address and subnet mask. This will be the
LAN adapter for the intra-cluster LAN.
Select adapter [1] and specify its IP address and subnet mask. This will be the LAN adapter for the
client LAN.
Set TCP/IP Properties for DNS, WINS Address, etc. at this time.
NOTE The Client LAN IP addresses and Intra-cluster LAN IP addresses must be on different
subnets.
5. Once the NT installation is complete, the D5013A NIC drivers must be manually set to the correct LAN
speed. Log on and from the start menu select: Settings, Control Panel, Network, and
Adapters. For each D5013A adapter, select Properties then Settings and set the network
speed to the appropriate setting (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) for your network. The intra-cluster LAN
should be set to 100 Mbps. Do not use the Auto setting.
