<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&trade; 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&reg; iSeries&trade; 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>
