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. If both servers are
new, either one can be designated as Host A, and the other, Host B.
However, if you are adding a second server (only) to an existing RAID
subsystem environment, this documentation assumes it will be designated as
Host B, and the existing server as Host A.
Server designation must remain constant through the configuration process.
