Cluster Migration to Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Note: These steps assume that you currently have an existing cluster in an operational state.

A cluster can be migrated to Windows 2000 Advanced Server without migrating the primary

domain controller. However, if the cluster is used as a backup domain controller, the primary

domain controller must be migrated first. For more detailed information on migrating domain

controllers, refer to your Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server documentation included

with your operating system purchase.

When upgrading from an HA/F100 cluster to an HA/F200 cluster additional hardware is required.

The difference between the clusters is the addition of a second redundant Fibre Channel loop. To

complete the installation of this loop, the following components are required:

§ A second Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controller per storage subsystem

§ A second Fibre Channel storage hub or FC-AL switch component. Choose from the

following:

o Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 7

o Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12

o Compaq StorageWorks FC-AL Switch 8 with or without the 3-port

Expansion Module

§ A second host bus adapter per server. Choose from the following:

o Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter/P

o Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter

§ Redundancy management software:

o Compaq SANworks Secure Path for Windows 2000 on

RAID Array 4000/4100

o Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) (Windows NTS/E only)

§ Additional GBICs and Fibre Channel cables

In addition to the above requirements, the following software items are needed for any

cluster migration:

§ Compaq SmartStart and Support Software

§ Server Profile Diskette (included with SmartStart)

§ One of the following operating systems and the documentation received with the

operating system:
