Virtual Array Requirements
■ If connecting to a Virtual Array, the FCA2101 firmware must be flashed to
3.90a7 prior to running the SAN Connection tool.
■ When connecting to a VA in conjunction with multipath fiber, AutoPath is
required. AutoPath licensing is not included with the HP StorageWorks NAS
device and must be purchased separately. However, the AutoPath software is
included in the HP StorageWorks NAS Device for availability at the time of
installation. Purchase of the license is required.
Checklists for Cluster Server Installation
The following will assist in preparing for installation. Step-by-step instructions
begin after these items have been discussed.
■ Network Requirements
■ Shared Disk Requirements
Network Requirements
■ A unique NetBIOS cluster name
■ Seven unique, static IP addresses: two for the network adapters on the private
network, two for the network adapters on the public network, two for the
virtual server resources, and one for the cluster itself.
■ A domain user account for Cluster service (all nodes must be members of the
same domain)
■ Each node should have two network connections—one for connection to the
public network and the other for the node-to-node private cluster network. If
only one network adapter for both connections is used, the configuration is
unsupported. A separate private network adapter is required for HCL
certification.
Shared Disk Requirements
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.
