Chapter 4 Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster This chapter describes the software setups, in sequence, required to prepare the RAID Array 3000 subsystem and two host servers for a cluster environment. Designating Servers as Host A and Host B A cluster environment requires sets of software procedures to be performed one host server at a time. Therefore, the servers must be clearly designated in your mind as Host A and Host B prior to the setup process.
4-2 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide Software Setup Summary for a Cluster The software setup procedures required for a cluster are presented in this section in the order that they must occur, which is as follows: ■ Prepare Host A for a Cluster ■ Prepare Host B for a Cluster ■ Install and Configure Windows NT Cluster Software on both host servers After completing these three main procedures in sequence you will have successfully established a cluster between t
Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster 4-3 Host B: On Host B (Host A can remain powered up): ■ Install the SCSI Host Adapter Device Driver ■ Prepare for HSZDisk Class Driver Installation (temporarily de-assign NTFS partition drive letters) ■ Install the HSZDisk Class Driver ■ Reboot the server (Host B) ■ Verify HSZDisk Class Driver Installation ■ Reassign NTFS Partition Drive Letters Procedures for Preparing Both Host Servers for a Cluster Perform all of the steps in this section on Host A,
4-4 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide Installing the HSZDisk class driver when NTFS partitions exist on the RAID subsystem causes Windows NT to reassign the drive letters. (HSZDisk inserts all RAID array-based partitions ahead of any local (non-shared bus) partitions. Windows NT would, for example, reassign drive letter C from your system disk to the first NTFS formatted storageset partition, Disk 0.
Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster 4-5 2. Label your partitions, if they are not already labeled, so that you can distinguish each one. 3. Record the drive letters currently associated with each of the partition labels. 4. Click RAID Array-based partition, select Assign Drive Letter. The Assign Drive Letter dialog box appears, similar to Figure 4−2. Figure 4-2.
4-6 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide 5. Click the Do not assign a drive letter button and click OK (Figure 4−3). Figure 4-3.

The partition now appears without a drive letter designator similar to Figure 4−5. Figure 4-5. No drive letter assignments 7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each of your partitions except the local and boot partitions.
4-8 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide Installing the HSZDisk Class Driver Locate the CD-ROM disk labeled RAID Array 3000 Solution Software for Windows NT, which contains the HSZDisk driver (HSZDisk.sys). The HSZDisk.sys driver is installed using the HSZ utility. The HSZ utility installs the driver, checks the event log for miniport and class driver errors, and also checks the SCSI adapter driver version.
Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster 4-9 If any driver installation errors appear in the Event Viewer window, a connectivity problem may exist on the shared SCSI-bus. HSZDisk will not load while these problems exist.
4-10 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide Reassigning Previous NTFS Partition Drive Letters This section describes how to reassign drive letters to NTFS partitions on a host if they were temporarily de-assigned as described in “ Preparing for the HSZDisk Class Driver Installation”. To reassign drive letters: 1. Start Disk Administrator. The disk administrator displays all the existing partitions, similar to the window in Figure 4-6.
Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster 4-11 2. Highlight a (RAID Array ) partition and select Assign Drive Letter. The Assign Drive Letter window appears displaying the next available drive letter, similar to the window in Figure 4-7. Figure 4-7. Driver letter availability 3. Click OK if you want to assign the selected drive letter. Otherwise, click the Assign drive letter radio button. Select another drive letter from the pick list and click OK.
4-12 RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have assigned drive letters to all of the partitions that need one, similar to the window in Figure 4-8. Figure 4-8. All the drive letters reassigned Compaq Confidential – Need to Know Required Writer: Bob Young Project: RAID Array 3000 Cluster Solutions for Microsoft Windows Installation Guide Comments: Part Number: EK-NT03K-IG.
Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster 4-13 If preparing Host A with the NTFS partition drive letters successfully reassigned or newly created, as applicable, Host A is prepared for a cluster. To prepare Host B, return to “Procedures for Preparing Both Host Servers for a Cluster” and repeat all of the preceding steps on Host B. IF PREPARING HOST B If preparing Host B with the NTFS partition drive letters successfully reassigned, Host B is prepared for a cluster then proceeds.

Chapter 5 Software Setup Requirements for Windows 2000 This chapter describes the software setups, in sequence, required to prepare the RAID Array 3000 subsystem and two host servers for a cluster environment with Windows 2000. There are no major differences when installing clusters with Windows 2000 and Window NT. Designating Servers as Host A and Host B A cluster environment requires sets of software procedures to be performed one host server at a time.
