Nodes Cannot Connect to the Shared Drives
• Verify that a physical connection exists from the second node to the Fibre
Channel storage hub or switch:
— Verify that the shortwave Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) are properly
seated.
— Verify that all Fibre Channel cables are properly connected to their GBICs.
• Verify that the shared drives are assigned the same drive letters on both nodes.
To do so, run Windows Disk Administrator on each node and verify that all
shared drives have been assigned identical drive letters. The drive letter
assignments must be permanent.
• If the second node was powered on before either the Fibre Channel storage hub
or switch or the storage subsystem; shut down the second node, turn it off, then
turn it on. The storage subsystem components must be powered on before the
servers.
