Installing Clusters
Preliminary Hardware and Software
Requirements for Windows Clusters
To use your controller in a Windows NT or Windows 2000 cluster,
you need to do the following preliminary work:
1 Install the necessary RAID controllers on each cluster node,
ensuring that the correct firmware for the controllers is also
installed.
2 For each RAID controller, enable clustering in the controller’s
BIOS and ensure that the SCSI ID of each shared channel on
each controller is a unique number, and that these SCSI IDs are
unique from the IDs assigned to the storage enclosures. For
instructions, see Enabling Clustering in the BIOS and Setting the
SCSI IDs on page 7-2.
