About the Quorum Disk
To proceed, power off both nodes. Power up node one.
The quorum disk is used to store cluster configuration database checkpoints and
log files that help manage the cluster. The quorum disk must be a shared disk
resource. Follow these quorum disk recommendations:
■ Dedicate a separate disk for a quorum disk. As the failure of the quorum disk
would cause the entire cluster to fail, it is strongly recommended that the disk
be a RAID 1 configuration.
■ Write a basic signature and create a small partition. A minimum of 50 MB
should be used as a quorum disk. HP generally recommends a quorum disk be
500 MB.
■ Assign the letter Q to the drive. Label the volume quorum.
Install Cluster Service Software
Configuring the First Node
Note: During installation of Cluster service on the first node, the second node must
either be turned off, or stopped prior to the HP Storage Works NAS server booting. All
shared storage devices should be powered up.
In the first phase of installation, all initial cluster configuration information must
be supplied so that the cluster can be created. This is accomplished using the
Cluster Service Configuration Wizard. All cluster setup and administration
activities must be accessed via the Windows 2000 graphical user interface (GUI)
available through terminal services, the iLO port, or a directly attached keyboard
and mouse connection.
