Getting Started 1-5
11. Install Dell OpenManage Data Agent on each node and Data Supervisor or, if
available, Data Administrator on the primary node.
12. From the primary node, configure the shared storage subsystem as follows:
a. Configure the redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) level on the stor-
age subsystem.
b. Partition, format, and assign drive letters to the Fibre Channel disk drives in
the shared storage subsystem, and repeat drive letter assignments on the
second node.
13. Install and configure the Microsoft Cluster Server software on each node.
14. Install the post-Service Pack 3 cluster hotfix, clusfixi.exe (if you are using Win-
dows NT Service Pack 3), or reapply Windows NT Service Pack 4.
NOTE: The
clusfixi.exe
hotfix must be downloaded from Microsoft’s Web site at
www.microsoft.com
.
15. Verify the functionality of the cluster.
16. Configure the Dell OpenManage Data Supervisor or Data Administrator to run in
a cluster environment.
17. Install and set up your application programs.
The following subsections briefly describe each of these steps.

NOTE: Hardware installation should be performed only by trained service technicians.
You may need to add peripheral devices and expansion cards to the system to meet
the minimum cluster requirements listed earlier in this chapter. For example, each
PowerEdge node must have two NIC cards to meet the minimum configuration
requirements. Each node also needs two QLogic QLA-2100 or QLA-2100F host bus
adapters to enable the node redundant access to the shared storage subsystem.
Figure 1-2 shows an example placement of these expansion cards in a PowerEdge 6300
system. Figure 1-3 shows the same configuration of expansion cards in a PowerEdge 6350
system, and Figure 1-4 shows these expansion cards in a PowerEdge 4300 system.
Appendix A, “Upgrading to a Cluster Configuration,” describes the proper placement of
expansion cards in a PowerEdge 6300, 6350, or 4300 system.
If you are upgrading an existing PowerVault 65
x
F storage system to meet the cluster
requirements for the shared storage subsystem, you may need to install additional
Fibre Channel disk drives in the shared storage subsystem. The size and number of
drives you add depend on the RAID level you want to use and the number of Fibre
Channel disk drives already present in your system. For information on installing
Fibre Channel disk drives in the PowerVault 65
x
F storage system, refer to the
Installa-
tion and Service Guide
for your PowerVault storage system.
