Obtaining UnixWare 7 Licenses
Before installing the SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Cluster software, obtain a
UnixWare 7 license that includes either the Mirroring Option or an OnLine
Data Manager (ODM) license. To locate a convenient SCO reseller or
distributor to purchase licenses, see the SCO website at
http://www.sco.com
Configuring the Servers with SmartStart
Before cluster installation on each node, you must erase any existing
configuration and configure each server using the SmartStart CD that comes
with the ProLiant DL380 server. You must also set two hardware
configuration items on each server. Start with the server that you plan to use as
node 1.
Erasing the Configuration
If you are using server or storage hardware that has been previously
configured, you must erase that configuration on each node before using the
Quick Install CDs for the ProLiant DL380 server. The following steps must be
used separately on each node to erase the configuration:
CAUTION: This procedure erases any information currently stored on the node.
To prevent information loss, back up important files before attempting
installation.
NOTE: The SmartStart procedure may prompt you for the Server Profile Diskette that
comes with the server. If prompted, insert the diskette and follow the onscreen
instructions.
1. If you are performing this procedure on node 1, power up the Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 (RA4100) and wait about 90 seconds
for the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 (RA4000) controllers
to complete their Power-On Self-Tests (POSTs).
If you are performing this procedure on node 2, power down the
RA4100.
2. Power up the node, insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive for
the node, and then wait for SmartStart to boot.
3. Select the Run System Erase Utility icon, and then click OK.
