Hints
● Only symmetric Primergy Cluster configurations are released
● Create cluster RAID configurations and Hot Spare drives only in SMOR.
● Wait until the build has finished before set the Cluster bit in SMOR.
● Both controllers must have the same size of cache.
● No changes in the RAID configuration possible after set cluster enable in
SMOR
● Only the SMOR shows the parameter bit `Cluster Enable`, not the Storage
Manager. Visible with RAIDUTIL parameter ”-K”
● No online RAID expansion possible in cluster mode.
● Only HDDs and SAF-TE devices are allowed to be connected to a shared
SCSI bus. No CD-ROM and Tape Drives are allowed.
● Use Write Through mode for cache settings.
● The Storage Manager is not able to run as a cluster resource.
● The SM shows the RAID drives which owns the other nodes as ”reserved by
the other node”.
● Boot from shared SCSI bus is not possible (MSCS restriction). Each server
must have its own boot drive, not connected to the 3200S controller which is
used on the shared SCSI-bus
● Only NTFS file system can be used on shared SCSI bus.
● W2K Advanced Server: Only BASIC Discs can be used on shared SCSI bus
(MSCS restriction)
● The rebuild for a cluster drive is only running when the drive is online in the
Clusteradmin.
● Taking a cluster drive offline with the ”take offline” function will stop the
rebuild on this cluster disk.
