Checklists for cluster server installation
These checklists assist in preparing for installation. Step-by-step instructions begin after the checklists.
Network requirements
• A unique NetBIOS cluster name
• For each node d eployed in the cluster the following static IP addresses are require d:
• One for the network adapters on the private network
• One for the network adapters on the public network
• One for the virtual server itself
A single static cluster IP address is required for the entire cluster.
• AdomainuseraccountforClusterservice(allnodesmustbemembersofthesamedomain)
• Each node should have at least two network adapters—one for connection to the public network
and the other for the node-to-nod e private cluster net work. If only one network adapter is used
for both connections, the configuration is unsupported. A separate private network adapter is
required for HCL certification.
Shared di
sk requirements

is installed on at least one node and that node is online. This can be accomplished through selective
storage p
resentation, SAN zoning, or having only one node online at all times.
• All software components listed in the HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and
Management white paper (located on the HP web site at h

cables attached to the HBAs before the cluster installation is started.
• All shared disks, including the Quorum disk, must be accessible from all nodes. When testing
connectivity between the nodes and the LUN, only one no de should be given access to the
LUN at a time.
• All shared disks must be configured as basic (not dynamic).
• All partitions on the disks must be formatted as NTFS.
Cluster installation
During the installation process, nodes are shut down and rebooted. These steps guarantee that the data
on disks that a re at tached to the shared stora ge bus is not lost or corrupted. This can happen when
multiple nodes tr y to simultaneously write to the same disk that is not yet protected by the cluster software.
Use Table 11 to determine which nodes and stor age devices should be pr esented during each step.
