Task 1: Complete the Planning Checklist

Before you install or migrate a ServerNet cluster or add a node to the cluster, complete

all the tasks in the planning checklist in Planning Checklist on page 3-2. Also refer to

the Switch Planning Form on page B-2.

Task 2: Install the Servers

If the individual servers are not already installed, you must install them and ensure that

they function properly as stand-alone systems before adding them to a cluster. You can

install all the servers now or install them individually before adding each one to the

cluster.
