2-8 Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
&+$37(5 &RQILJXULQJ WKH &OXVWHU 6RIWZDUH This chapter provides information about configuring the Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100 system software. Before configuring the cluster software, verify that your system hardware is properly cabled for clustering. See Chapter 2, “Cabling the Cluster Hardware,” in this guide for instructions on connecting the components of your PowerEdge Cluster FE100.

+LJK /HYHO 6RIWZDUH &RQILJXUDWLRQ When you have set up the internal disk drives and RAID levels, you can install and configure Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition. You must set a number of operating system configurations during the installation to enable clustering. These configuration requirements are described in the Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition Administrator’s Guide. The following subsections briefly discuss these configurations.
5XQQLQJ WKH 'HOO 2SHQ0DQDJH 'DWD $JHQW DV D &OXVWHU 5HVRXUFH The Data Agent should be installed as a cluster resource and managed by Microsoft Cluster Server so that only one Data Agent is running at any one time. Only one Data Agent should be running to ensure that the nodes have a consistent view of the PowerVault storage system. Use the following steps to install the Data Agent as a cluster resource: 1. Confirm that Dell OpenManage Managed Node Agent is installed on both nodes. 2.
5XQQLQJ 'HOO 2SHQ0DQDJH 'DWD $GPLQLVWUDWRU LQ D &OXVWHU You should always use the cluster name instead of the node name to connect to the Data Agent. Using the cluster name to connect to the Data Agent ensures that the Administrator can always connect to the Data Agent regardless of which server is running the Data Agent. You can use one of three methods to specify the cluster name to the Data Adminstrator: Create a .host file in your home directory containing the name of the cluster.
5XQQLQJ 'HOO 2SHQ0DQDJH $7) When a communication failure occurs between a node and the storage subsystem (for example, due to a failed host bus adapter or a faulty cable), run the atf_restore command as soon as possible after you replace or repair the failed component(s) to restore the cluster to the original access path where the Application-Transparent Failover (ATF) executable programs are stored.
Also, each Internet Information Server (IIS) version 3.0 Virtual Root configured for failover also needs a static IP address. 1DPLQJ DQG )RUPDWWLQJ 6KDUHG 'ULYHV The logical drives of the shared storage subsystem must be assigned drive letters and then formatted as Windows NT File System (NTFS) drives. The assigned drive letters must be identical on both nodes.
When all drives have been assigned drive letters and formatted, the identical drive letters for the shared drives must be assigned on the second node. To do this, enter the Disk Administrator on the second node, right-click each drive, and assign the same drive letter to each drive that was assigned on the first node. NOTE: Do not use Disk Administrator to set up RAID levels on the shared storage subsystem hard-disk drives.
8SGDWLQJ WKH :LQGRZV 17 'ULYHU IRU ,QWHO 1,&V Dell recommends that you use Windows NT NIC driver version 2.22 or later for the Intel Pro100B network controller (used on PowerEdge 4300 systems) and version 3.00 or later for the Intel Pro/100+ network controller (used on PowerEdge 6300 and 6350 systems). Perform the following procedure on both nodes to update the NIC driver: 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Network icon, and click the Adapters tab.
9HULI\LQJ WKH &OXVWHU )XQFWLRQDOLW\ To ensure that the PowerEdge Cluster FE100 functions properly, perform a series of checks of the system’s operation and configuration. Perform these checks to verify that the cluster meets the following conditions: All nodes and clients are able to log on to the same domain. The shared disks are assigned identical drive letters in both nodes. All IP addresses and network names in the cluster are communicating with each other and the rest of the network.
2SWLRQDO 5$,' &RQWUROOHU 'ULYHU If you are using an optional PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller for the internal hard-disk drives on either or both of your nodes, verify that the correct RAID controller driver is installed and running on the system(s) by performing the following procedure: 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and double-click the SCSI Adapters icon. 2. Click the Drivers tab, and check that the PowerEdge RAID II Adapters driver shows a status of Started.
&OXVWHU 1HWZRUN &RPPXQLFDWLRQV For proper functioning of the cluster, the two PowerEdge systems must be able to communicate with one another. For instance, this communication includes the exchange of “heartbeat” messages, whereby the two nodes inquire about each other’s status, or “health,” and acknowledge all such inquiries. To verify network communications between the nodes, open a command prompt on each node.
8QLQVWDOOLQJ 0LFURVRIW &OXVWHU 6HUYHU Before you can uninstall Cluster Server from a node, perform the following steps: 1. Take all resource groups off-line or move them to the other node. 2. Evict the node from the cluster by right-clicking the node icon in Cluster Administrator and selecting Evict Node from the menu. 3. Close Cluster Administrator on the node. 4. Stop the Cluster Service running on the node. 5.
Because the quorum disk plays a crucial role in the operation of the cluster, the loss of a quorum disk causes the failure of the Cluster Server. To prevent this type of failure, set up the quorum resource on a fault-tolerant RAID volume in the shared storage subsystem.
6. Enter the new NIC’s IP address, making sure that the network ID portion of the IP address is different from the other adapter. For example, if the first NIC in the node had an address of 192.168.110.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, you may enter the following IP address and subnet mask for the second NIC: IP Address: 192.168.100.6 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 7. Click OK, exit the Control Panel, and restart the node. 8.
'HWHUPLQLQJ WKH 5$,' /HYHOV RI WKH 6KDUHG 'LVN 9ROXPHV If you cannot determine the RAID level of a shared disk volume by viewing the volume size in Windows NT Disk Administrator, you can use Dell OpenManage Data Agent Configurator to view each volume’s RAID configuration: 1. Start the Dell OpenManage Data Agent Configurator. 2. From the Main Menu, select Devices and click on Scan Devices. Data Agent Configurator displays a screen listing all available disk volumes and their associated RAID levels.
&+$37(5 5XQQLQJ $SSOLFDWLRQV 6RIWZDUH RQ D &OXVWHU This chapter provides general information about configuring applications software to run on the Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100 using Cluster Administrator. Before you start Cluster Administrator on either node, make sure the Cluster Service has been started and a cluster has been formed. You can verify this by using the Event Viewer and looking for events logged by Cluster Service (ClusSvc).
After a resource is created, it must be brought online for access by the nodes and clients. See the following subsections for a description of how to create and set up the following three types of cluster resources: Internet Information Server (IIS) service (version 3.0) File share service Print spool service Refer to the Microsoft Cluster Server Administrator’s Guide for more detailed information and instructions about creating cluster resources.
5. Set the Resource Type in the dialog box as Physical Disk. Select both nodes as possible owners and select a shared disk. There is no dependency for a physical disk. NOTE: When a new resource is created, the resource group is marked off-line, which is normal and does not indicate a failure. Once the resource is created and brought online, the group is automatically brought online as well. 6. Using the New Resource wizard, create an IP address resource called “Web IP.” 7.
2. In the dialog box, type File Share Service for the new group name. You may also want to select one of the nodes as the preferred owner of the group. 3. Use the New Resource wizard to create a disk resource called “File Share Disk,” or move an existing shared disk resource from another group. 4. Set the Resource Type in the dialog box as Physical Disk. Select both nodes as possible owners and select a shared disk. There is no dependency for a physical disk. 5.
Make sure that Microsoft Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Printing is installed and the printer is attached to the network. Also, keep the printer’s IP address and the Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition CD available. 1. In Cluster Administrator, right-click any group or resource to start the New Group wizard, then point to New, and then select Group from the submenu. 2. In the dialog box, type Spool Service for the new group name. 3.
g. Either click Search to find the printer or type its IP address in the TCP/IP Address field and click Next. h. Type a port name, for example sigport, and click Finish. i. Click Close. j. Click Cancel to close the Add Printer wizard. NOTE: Do not add the printer at this point. You must set up identical printer ports on both nodes before the printer can be added. k. Repeat steps a through j on the other node.
5XQQLQJ FKNGVN I RQ D 4XRUXP 'LVN You cannot run the chkdsk command with the /f (fix) option on a device that has an open file handle active. The Cluster Service maintains an open handle on the quorum resource; therefore, you cannot run chkdsk /f on the hard-disk drive that contains the quorum resource. To run chkdsk /f on a quorum resource’s hard-disk drive, move the quorum resource temporarily to another drive and then run chkdsk /f on the drive that previously stored the quorum resource.
