Preparation for Installing on the First Node
You are ready to start installing the Interplay Engine on the first node. During setup you must
enter the following cluster-related information:
• Virtual IP Address: the Interplay Engine service IP address of the resource group. For a list
of example names, see
“List of IP Addresses and Network Names” on page 31.
• Subnet Mask: the subnet mask on the local network.
• Public Network: the name of the public network connection.
- For a redundant-switch ISIS configuration, type Public, or whatever name you assigned
in
“Renaming the Local Area Network Interface on Each Node” on page 39.
- For a dual-connection ISIS configuration, type Left-subnet or whatever name you
assigned in
“Renaming the Cluster Networks in the Failover Cluster Manager” on
page 61
. For a dual-connection configuration, you set the other public network
connection after the installation. See
“Checking the Status of the Resource Group” on
page 93
.
To check the public network connection on the first node, open the Networks view in the
Failover Cluster Manager and look up the name there.
• Shared Drive: the letter for the shared drive that holds the database. Use S: for the shared
drive letter. You need to make sure this drive is online. See
“Bringing the Shared Database
Drive Online” on page 76
.
• Cluster Service Account User and Password (Server Execution User): the domain account
that is used to run the cluster. See
“Before You Begin the Server Failover Installation” on
page 29
