6. While the system is online, assign the LUNs to the first NAS device one at a
time so that they can be identified easily in Device Manager.
Note: Do not let both nodes access the shared storage devices at the same time until
Cluster service is installed on at least one node and that node is online. This can be
accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN switch zoning, or having
only one node online at all times.
7. Using Logical Disk Manager (LDM), write signatures to the disks, mark them
as basic (dynamic disk are not supported in a cluster), create corresponding
partitions, assign drive letters, and format the drives. Mount points are not
supported in Microsoft clustering. See the LDM online help for full details on
this procedure.
8. Use the cluster setup checklist included in either Chapter 4 of this guide or the
cluster tab of the WebUI to configure the cluster. Successful setup is
dependent upon the use of the cluster checklist.
9. This is an optional step. Enable protocols such as NCP and/or AppleTalk as
desired. See the administration guide for this procedure in detail. Certain
protocols are available for use in a cluster but are not cluster aware protocols:
NCP, AppleTalk and HTTP. See the administration guide for complete details.
10. This is a recommended step. Create shares corresponding to the protocols
mentioned in the previous steps. Grant access rights to the shares. See the
cluster section of the administration guide for this procedure in detail.
11. This is a recommended step. Activate the iLO License Key. The iLO
License Key is included in the country kit.
12. This is an optional step. Install NAS Data Copy for replication services
among NAS or server products. A thirty day trial license is included with the
NAS operating system.
Read the remaining sections of the administration guide which detail these steps
and processes for utilizing the NAS device. Special attention should be applied to
the cluster management chapter.
