51NAS b3000 v2 Quick Start Guide
To configure the Cluster service on the HP StorageWorks NAS server, the account
must have administrative permissions on each node. Both nodes must be member
servers within the same domain.
Configure the Private Network Adapter
The following procedures are Best Practices provided by Microsoft and should be
configured on the private network adapter.
■ On the General tab of the private network adapter, deselect all items except
TCP/IP
■ In the DNS tab under advanced settings for the private network adapter,
deselect Register this connection’s addresses in DNS
■ Set the Link Speed and Duplex to 100Mps/Full Duplex under the advanced
tab for the Ethernet card used for the private network adapter
■ If a network adapter is in a disconnected state during installation, the Cluster
service does not detect the adapter because there are no protocols bound to the
adapter.
If Media Sense is disabled the network adapter still shows the
"disconnected" status, but the cluster installation process can detect the
adapter as available for cluster communication
. To make this change, refer to
the online guide.
If the private network connection is made using a crossover cable, then the
procedures outlined in Knowledge Base (KB) article Q242430
(
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q242/4/30.ASP ) should be
followed and the node rebooted prior to installing Cluster service. If this
procedure is not completed, and the second node is powered off while installing
Cluster service on the first node, the private network adapter may not be detected.
