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 9
If you are not using dynamic DNS or DHCP, you can use static entries to
set up DNS. Use one of the following methods to set up the hostname on
each server:
• Set up a DNS suffix. Select My Computer > Properties > Network
Identification > Properties. On the Identification Changes window,
select More.
Then, on the DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name window, type
the fully qualified domain name as the “Primary DNS suffix of this
computer.”
• Add the server to the suffix search list. Select Settings > Control Panel
> Network and Dial-Up Connections. Then select any network
connection. On the Local Area Connection Properties window, select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. On the Internet
Properties window, click Advanced. Then, on the Advanced TCP/IP
Settings window, select the DNS tab. Select “Append these DNS
suffixes (in order),” and then select Add to add your suffixes.
You can use nslookup to verify that the hostname is set up correctly.
3. Configure the Server for WINS Clients
WINS clients may be unable to access multi-homed cluster servers
(servers having multiple NICs) if NetBIOS and Microsoft client/server
network bindings are enabled on all interfaces. These settings should be
enabled only on publicly-reachable (routeable) interfaces.
HP recommends that you disable the following on the private
(non-routed or non-client reachable) interfaces:
•NetBIOS
• Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks (the NetBIOS over
TCP/IP or NetBT client)
Also leave the DNS and WINS fields blank on the private interfaces.
