■ All software components listed in the SAN connection tool must be installed
and the fiber cables attached to the HBA(s) before the cluster installation is

Cluster Installation
Installation Overview
During the installation process, both nodes will be shut down and both nodes will
be rebooted. These steps are necessary to guarantee that the data on disks that are
attached to the shared storage bus is not lost or corrupted. This can happen when
multiple nodes try to simultaneously write to the same disk that is not yet
protected by the cluster software.
Use Table 4 to determine which nodes and storage devices should be presented
during each step.
