7. Setup presents a two-column list of Available unshared and Shared cluster disks. Use
the Add and Remove buttons to place the disks in the desired columns. Click Next.

8. Setup prompts you to select a disk (quorum disk) on which to store permanent cluster files. Cluster
Administrator uses the disk you select to store synchronizing information about Systems A and B. The
disk must always be available to the cluster. Select the disk that you will commit to keeping online then
click Next.
9. Configure your LAN adapters.
Setup scans the System’s LAN adapters so they can be configured for cluster use and presents a dialog
for each LAN adapter installed in your HP NetServer. Setup uses the IP address you specified during
NT installation. Type a Network Name for the LAN Adapter, and check Enable for cluster
use.
HP recommends that you identify the LAN adapter according to use (for example, intra-cluster LAN).
When you enable cluster use setup gives you three options:
• Use for all communications
Choose this option if you are configuring a client LAN adapter, and System A and B reside on
the same IP subnet.
