Initial pre-planning steps
Complete the HP Pre-Planning Worksheet with your HP service expert. This process is part of the HP
installation service associated with this product. Your HP representative provides this worksheet.
It is important to fill out the worksheet before you start configuring the cluster nodes to ensure that you
have the information required to correctly configure your solution.
The following items are required for initial node setup:
• Network parameters (IP addresses, subnet masks, and so on) for each of the following:
• The five data NICs, port2 of the onboard NIC ports plus the four ports on the outboard NIC
card on each node.
• The intra-node heartbeat NIC, port1 of the onboard NIC ports.
• The iLO card interface
• Hostnames and DNS servers
• NTP server
• SAN Storage
Setup procedure
Before starting the setup, be sure to review the configuration and hardware requirements specified
in Chapter 1, page 5.
