HP Netserver LXr Pro NetRAID Installation Guide

Part 7 - Installing and Testing Microsoft Cluster Server

(MSCS) Software

During installation of MSCS software at System B, you will create a Microsoft Cluster Server. Initially, it is a

cluster with only one server (System B). Later, you will join System A to the cluster and thus create a standard

two-server (node) cluster. If you need more information about the installation process outlined here, see the

Microsoft Cluster Server Administrators Guide.

Install MSCS on System B

Microsoft Cluster Server installation includes slightly different software setups for System A and System B.

Since you just finished configuring arrays on System B, continue Microsoft Cluster Server Setup where you left

off with Disk Administrator. System B should be fully booted at this point in the installation.

To install Microsoft Cluster Server at System B:

1. Insert the Component CD of Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition in the CD-ROM drive of

System B.

2. Run the Microsoft Cluster Server setup program.

Setup.exe is located in the following folder on the Component CD:

x:\mscs\cluster\i386

3. Choose Form a new cluster and click Next.

After providing you with the option to install files at an alternative location, through a series of dialogs,

the Setup program prompts you to identify the cluster by name.
