Cluster Installation and Verification
The following sections install and verify the cluster installation.
Installing the Cluster Software
Install and configure Microsoft cluster software on the host servers as described in
the manual provided with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition,
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
Verifying Creation of the Cluster
To verify the creation of the cluster:
1. Type the following CLI command and press Enter to shut down your storage
subsystem.
shutdown this_controller
2. Shut down and power off both servers.
3. Power off the storage subsystem and then power it back on.
4. Power both servers back on.
5. From the Windows desktop on either clustered server, select Start, Programs,
Administrative Tools (Common), Cluster Administrator.
6. Enter the name or IP address of the cluster when you are prompted for Cluster
Name. If you run Cluster Administrator on a cluster node, enter a period and the
cluster is found automatically.
If the cluster has been created correctly, the computer names of both cluster
nodes appear on the left side of the Cluster Administrator window.
7. If the cluster is not working correctly, refer to the installation troubleshooting tips
in Chapter 6.
