Migrating the Cluster
To migrate your cluster, follow these steps:
1. Move all of the cluster groups, including the cluster group, to Node 2.
NOTE:
For help on moving cluster groups, refer the Microsoft documentation that came
with your operating system.
2. Upgrade Node 1 to Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
a. Run the Compaq Windows 2000 Primer Utility to remove any
conflicting device drivers or applications that may cause problems
during the install or operation of Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
The Primer Utility can be downloaded from the Compaq website
(
http://www.compaq.com/partners/microsoft/
). After the Primer has
run, you will be asked to reboot the node to finish the cleanup
process.
b. Once the node has been rebooted, insert the Windows 2000
Advanced Server CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the Autorun feature
for CDs has been turned off, select Start and then Run. At the
prompt type X:\Setup.exe, where X is the drive letter of your
CD-ROM drive. When asked if you want to upgrade Windows,
select Yes.
c. Follow on-screen instructions for the End User License Agreement
and your Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Product Key.
d. The install process is completely automated and does not require any
intervention until you are required to log on to the node.
e. Configure Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
NOTE:
After the upgrade is complete, the Cluster Service will fail to start. This is
because the DNS client for Node 1 has not been set up. The problem that occurs is
an authentication error with the user account used to start the Cluster Service. The
error message is expected and will be resolved after the DNS client is set up.
f. Set up the DNS client on Node 1.
g. After the DNS client setup is complete, select Start and then
Shutdown. At the shutdown screen, select Log Off Administrator,
then log back on to the machine. This ensures that the domain
controller has properly authenticated the machine and user ID.
