HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.2.1 Windows Storage Server Edition Setup Guide (February 2006)

Chapter 3: Setting Up HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 8
If you plan to use a client PC outside the cluster to administer your
cluster, install the stand-alone Management Console package on that PC.
1. Set iLO configuration during boot
When booting, press F8 to enter the iLO configuration mode. Set the
network information (IP address) and user/password. This will be used
for iLO based fencing setup later on.
2. Set Up the DNS Hostname
Each server running HP Clustered File System must be able to resolve its
hostname in DNS. HP Clustered File System uses the first address
returned by DNS as the server’s name in the cluster.
If you are using dynamic DNS, HP recommends that you choose one
public NIC to set up as a DNS client. Then list the DNS server(s) in the
configuration for this NIC.
Do not list any DNS servers for the private (non-routed or non-client
reachable) NICs. For the private NICs, uncheck the configuration option
to “register this connection’s addresses in DNS.”
If you are using DHCP, the DNS and hostname will be set up correctly if
DHCP has been configured to do this.
Configure the
cluster.
Create an initial cluster configuration on one
server, export that configuration to the other
servers, and then start the HP Clustered File
System service.

Connect to the
cluster.
The cluster now includes all of the servers.
