Enter a name for the cluster. Make note of the name you enter here. You will need to provide the

identical name during Microsoft Cluster Server software setup at System A. Click Next.

Setup prompts you for user and domain information. In the spaces provided in the dialog, provide a user

name and password of your choosing, and identify an appropriate Microsoft Domain name for the

cluster. Click Next.

If you are unsure about what constitutes an MS Domain name, consult your Windows NT documentation

supplied with your system.

You are presented with a list of disks to be shared in the cluster and provided the option to remove those

you do not want to share. Remove only disks that you want to reserve for the exclusive use of System B.

Normally you would share all disks listed. Click Next.

Microsoft Cluster Server Setup, Assigning Shared Disks to the Cluster

Setup prompts you to select a disk on which to store permanent cluster files. Cluster Administrator uses

the disk you select to store synchronizing information about Systems A and B. The disk must always be

available to the cluster. Select the disk that you will commit to keeping online, and then click Next.

Configure your LAN adapters.

Setup scans the System's LAN adapters so they can be configured for cluster use and presents a dialog

for each LAN adapter installed in your HP NetServer. The Intra-cluster LAN is shown first with the

Adapter Name and IP Address already filled in. Setup supplies the IP address that you specified

during NT installation. Enter a Network Name for the LAN Adapter, check and check Enable for

cluster use.

HP recommends that you identify the LAN adapter according to use (e.g. Intra-cluster LAN). When you

enable cluster use, Setup presents you with three additional options:

Use for all communications

Choose this option if you are configuring a Client LAN adapter, and System A and B reside on

the same IP subnet.

Use only for internal cluster communications

Choose this option if you are configuring an Intra-cluster LAN adapter.
