Mounting Remote Drives and Verifying
Administrator Privileges
Because the OUI installs and configures OSDs on the other nodes in the
cluster from the installing machine, you must first mount a drive on all remote
nodes in the cluster. Remote nodes are those nodes other than the node on
which the OUI is running (the installing machine).
The drive you mount should be the drive the OUI will write to, and it must be
the same drive on all cluster nodes. There should be at least five megabytes of
space on the remote drives.
The net use command can be used to mount drives on remote nodes. The
person running the net use command must have administrator privileges.
Therefore, running the net use command not only mounts drives on remote
nodes but also verifies the administrator privileges of the installer.
Administrator privileges are required for most installation tasks, such as
installing device drivers and changing registry entries. To install the OSDs,
you must have administrator privileges on each node from the installing
machine.
To mount drives on remote nodes, enter a net use command from a C: prompt
on the installing machine. Enter one instance of the command for each remote
cluster node. The following example mounts the C: drive on a remote node.
C: net use \\machine_name\C$ * /User: <admin_login >
The “*” results in the system prompting you for a password, and the password
is not echoed. (The Map Network Drive option in Windows Explorer is an
alternative to the net use command.)
