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. 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.
Server designation must remain constant through the configuration process.
