Be sure to set up unique IP addresses and node names for each node in
the hosts and lmhosts files at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc.
G For an Ethernet cluster interconnect, one IP address and node name
is for the cluster interconnect, and the other IP address and node
name is for the client LAN. Both entries are required for each node
in the cluster.
G After setting up these file entries, be sure to restart the node so it
picks up the correct IP addresses.
■ After you have installed Windows 2000 Advanced Server, run Disk
Management on each node to verify you can see the shared storage
subsystem resources on all RA4000/RA4100 Arrays, then select
Commit Changes in Disk Management. Restart all nodes.
Automated Installation Using SmartStart
CAUTION: Automated installation using SmartStart assumes that it is being
installed on new servers. If there is any existing data on the servers, it will be
destroyed.
You will need the following during SmartStart installation:
■ SmartStart and Support Software CD 4.9 or later
■ Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Service Pack 1 or later
■ SmartStart Installation poster
■ Server Profile diskette
Cluster-Specific SmartStart Installation
The SmartStart Installation poster describes the general flow of configuring
and installing software on a single server. The installation for a PDC/O1000
will be very similar.
The one difference is that through the Array Configuration Utility, SmartStart
gives you the opportunity to configure the shared drives on all servers. For
cluster configuration, you should configure the drives on the first server, then
accept the same settings for the shared drives when given the option on the
other servers.
