HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System Administrator Guide

In the Set Up Windows wizard, you are asked to choose a language, regional settings, and
keyboard layout. After you accept the EULA, the server you are connected to attempts to discover
the second server. This is done over the internal switch (5, Figure 6 (page 13)). If the second node
is not ready, you may see a message stating Cannot establish communication with
the second node. Click Retry to attempt discovery, and repeat the retry until the second node
is discovered. After the second node is discovered, there will be a few more installation steps that
occur automatically on each server, and then both servers will reboot.
NOTE: If you click Cancel instead of Retry, you must access the second node from iLO or a direct
(SUV) connection and manually perform the Set Up Windows wizard on the second node. Because
the discovery process has not completed, there will also be an extra step later to establish a
connection between the two nodes. You will find instructions for this, if needed, in the online help
of the Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT).
Completing initial configuration
After the servers reboot, continue the configuration using the first node. A default administrator
password (HPinvent!) has been set and this is used to log on automatically. Leave this
administrator password unchanged until you are prompted for a new password in a later
configuration step. After logon, the HP ICT window is launched automatically.

Use the HP ICT to perform setup tasks in the order they appear. See the provided online help for
each group of tasks for more information about the task. After completing the “Provide cluster name
and domain” task, both nodes will reboot. After allowing time for a reboot, log on once again to
the first node. This time, rather than logging on as local Administrator, log on using the domain
account that was specified in the “Provide cluster name and domain” task. You may now complete
the remaining tasks, which includes creation of the two-node cluster. The final task is an optional
