Installing the Hardware
Setting Up the Nodes
Physically preparing the nodes (servers) for a cluster is not very different than

insert all internal hard disks. You will attach network cables and plug in SCSI
and Fibre Channel cables. The primary difference is in setting up the shared
storage subsystem.
