Before installing Clustered File System, you will need to perform the
following steps:
1. Install SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 9.
2. Modify system files.
3. Install a supported kernel.
1. Install SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 9
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 9 must be installed on each server
that will be in the cluster. Following are some considerations for the
installation:
• Do not place any operating-system files on the SAN disks. To ensure
that files are not installed on these disks, you can either unplug the
HBA card from the FC switch or unplug the SAN connection before
starting the installation. After booting the server on SuSE Linux, plug
the HBA card back into the FC switch or restore the SAN connection.
• If you will be installing a firewall, ensure that the service ports
required by Clustered File System are open. See the HP Clustered File
System Administration Guide for more information about the service
ports used by Clustered File System.
