<h4 id="rzahqclusterpreinstall">Prepare Windows before installing Windows Cluster service</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>After you install the integrated server, you need to prepare the server
|
||
|
|
to install the Windows Cluster service.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To prepare Windows before you install the Windows Cluster service, perform
|
||
|
|
the following tasks:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Format the quorum resource</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Configure the private network adapter</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you complete these steps, Windows is ready for you to install the
|
||
|
|
Windows Cluster service. For more information, see <a href="rzahqclusterwininstall.htm#rzahqclusterwininstall">Install Windows Cluster service on Windows</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Format the quorum resource:</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The first step to prepare Windows for a Windows Cluster installation is
|
||
|
|
to format the quorum resource as NTFS. Formatting the quorum resource is
|
||
|
|
not only required to install the Windows Cluster service, it is also the
|
||
|
|
first step when installing the first node of a cluster. For more information,
|
||
|
|
see <a href="rzahqfstpi.htm#rzahqfstpi">Format integrated server disk drives</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For IXS or IXA attached servers, the quorum resource appears
|
||
|
|
as an unformatted disk drive that typically has a logical device driver letter
|
||
|
|
of E. The location of the quorum resource is bus number 1, target identifier
|
||
|
|
0 and Logical Unit Number (LUN) 0.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You should format the volume and label it using the same name as the cluster,
|
||
|
|
which is also the name of the quorum resource network server storage space
|
||
|
|
name. Also format any other shared storage spaces at this time. It is also
|
||
|
|
recommended that you assign a fixed drive letter to the quorum resource drive
|
||
|
|
and any other shared storage drives.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold"><span class="bold">Note</span>:</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The drive letter assigned to all storage spaces on the shared storage
|
||
|
|
bus must be the same on all nodes of the cluster.
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Configure the private network adapter:</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Next, configure the private network adapter for use by the Windows Cluster
|
||
|
|
service by completing the following steps on the first node in your cluster:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>On the integrated Windows server console, right-click <span class="bold">My Network Places</span> and select <span class="bold">Properties</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click the <span class="bold">Local Area Connection 2</span> icon.
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold"><span class="bold">Note:</span></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Which network adapter is private and which is public depends on how
|
||
|
|
you configured the server. This information assumes the following:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The first network adapter (Local Area Connection) is connected to the
|
||
|
|
public network by using a physical LAN adapter under the Integrated Windows
|
||
|
|
server</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The second network adapter (Local Area Connection 2) is the virtual Ethernet
|
||
|
|
adapter configured as the cluster configuration connection port that you
|
||
|
|
want to use as the private cluster network</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The third network adapter (Local Area Connection 3) is the
|
||
|
|
virtual Ethernet point to point connection to i5/OS™ and should not be enabled for any clustering
|
||
|
|
use<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li></ul> The number and order of network adapters may not be the same, depending
|
||
|
|
on the physical and virtual configuration of the server and the network.
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Status</span> to display the <span class="bold">Local
|
||
|
|
Area Connection 2 Status</span> window, which shows the connection status,
|
||
|
|
as well as the speed of connection.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In the <span class="bold">Local Area Connection 2 Status</span> window, click <span class="bold">Properties</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In the <span class="bold">Properties</span> dialog box, make sure that the
|
||
|
|
contents of the <span class="bold">Connect using</span> field contains <tt>IBM® iSeries™ Virtual Ethernet x,</tt> where <tt>x</tt> matches
|
||
|
|
the *VRTETHx that you specified for the cluster configuration connection
|
||
|
|
port.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Close</span>, then click <span class="bold">Close</span> again.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>For clarity, you should rename your Local Area Network Icons. For example,
|
||
|
|
you might want to change the name of Local Area Connection 2 to something
|
||
|
|
like Private Cluster Connection.</p>
