Windows 2000 Advanced Server Cluster installation instance

Take Dell poweredage 6450 as an example:
Two 6450 servers and one Dell powervanlt 201s disk array cabinet.
Two servers: one 9 gb scsi hard disk, one Dell Perc 2/DC card, the hard disk connected to the SCSI card, one integrated

Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet network card, an Intel PRO 100 + network card.
Disk Array configuration: 6 16 gb scsi hard disks
Two Dell heartbeat Network cables
One Hub
1. Configure the server
1. connect two servers A and B. Two intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet hard jumper links, two Intel PRO

100 + connect to the hub with two network cables.
2. Open both servers and install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on both servers A and B.
3. configure Server A as a domain controller. If the domain name is server. com ).
4. Configure the IP addresses of the two NICs. For example, Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet is set to 10.1.1.10 Intel PRO 100 +

111.111.111.10
5. Add Server B to the domain of server a in two ways:
A. When installing Windows 2000, the computer will prompt whether to join an existing domain, select add, and enter

Domain, select Custom installation, set the IP address intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet to 10.1.1.20, and Intel PRO 100 +

111.111.111.20. Then, the server will not prompt that it has been added to the domain and it will continue to install. This is different from NT 4.0.

.
Note: Make sure that the two servers are connected and the protocols must be configured.
B. if you choose not to add an existing domain during installation, You can manually add it after entering Windows 2000. Details

Method: Right-click my computer, click Properties, select a network ID, click Properties, enter the domain to be added, and follow the wizard.
6. Note: The two NICs of the two servers must be configured in the same domain.
7. Restart server a and server B, and press Ctrl + m to enter Dell prec 2/DC and configure prec card
A. Set the cluster mode to enable. The method is objects---adapter --- clustremode.
B. Set the BIOS of Perc 2/DC to disable (select enable)
C. Set the initiator ID of the perc 2/DC card to 6 for server a and 7 for server B.
D. Exit the prec card settings and disable server a and server B.
Ii. Configure the powervanlt 201s disk array
1. pv201s has two Es em s cards, which are pulled out. Each of them has a patch cord jp8, which is used to transient jp8.
2. Connect pv201s with server a's prec 2/DC on the SCSI line. Enter the BIOS configuration disk array (pv201s) of prec 2/DC

RAID (usually RAID 5), and then select initialize settings.
3. Exit.
Note: Server B is disabled at this time.
3. Configure clustre
1. Disable server B.
2. Open Server A, go to Windows 2000, and upgrade Windows 2000 Perc 2/DC driver as follows:
The Perc driver must be upgraded on two nodes. The following process describes the process of updating the driver:
# Update the perc driver
1. Choose Start> program> Management Tools> Computer Management.
2. Under [System Tools], select [device management].
3. Click SCSI and RAID Controller on the right panel.

3. The signature and disk Upgrade Wizard is automatically displayed. Otherwise, right-click the gray [disk 0] and click [Signature].
4. Click [next].
5. Select all disks and click [next].
6. If the disk does not need to be upgraded, deselect all selected disks and click [next].
7. Click [finish].
8. The read/write status of the disk must be basic. If they are dynamic, right-click each disk and select [restore to basic magnetic

Disk].
9. Right-click the first disk (Disk 0) and select [create disk].
10. Click [next].
11. Check whether the [primary partition] is selected, and then click [next].
12. Check whether the maximum disk space is available and click [next].
13. Assign the drive letter of the first disk to Z and click [next].
14. Check whether the NTFS file system is selected and click [next].
15. Click [finish].
16. After the first disk format is complete, repeat steps 8-15 to create a shared drive for each disk and select the last available drive letter

.
17. Disable server.
Note: It is recommended that the given drive letter start from the Z disk and set the status of the recognized Z disk from dynamic to the basic status so that the following

Cluster services can be installed. The modification method is as follows: Right-click my computer, select Manage, select disk management, right-click disk 0, and select set as base

This status.
4. Disable server a, enable server B, configure cluster on server B, and disable server a during this process. The configuration process is as follows:

Below:
Note: Because server a has RAID 5 for pv201s and formatted the hard disk, you do not need to redo RAID 5 on server B.

Save it.
# Change drive name and path of server B
