Configuring the System

The following sections provide instructions for configuring your

ProLiant CL380 system with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0,

Enterprise Edition.

Preconfiguration Checks

■ Be sure you have sufficient software rights to install the operating

system and software applications on each server node.

■ All hardware must be installed before you install the software.

Configuring Server Node 1

1. Apply power to the shared storage array and boot server node 1 with the

SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select

the language you would like to use and follow the installation process.

3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Assisted

Integration path. Follow the guided installation process. If you need

help, refer to the online help by clicking on the Help button.

4. After the operating system has been selected, SmartStart runs the

System Configuration Utility and configures the server node hardware.

The adapter card in each server node that is connected to the shared

storage RAID controller must have a unique SCSI ID number.

5. To verify or change the SCSI ID number after the system configuration

is done, select Review or Modify Hardware Settings and then

press Enter. This allows you to see all of the hardware settings.

6. Select Step 3: View or Edit Details.

7. Press the down arrow to select Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide

Ultra2 SCSI Controller (Port1). Underneath this heading is a subheading

titled SCSI ID. To change the SCSI ID setting, highlight the SCSI ID

option then press Enter. After making a new selection, press Enter to

accept the change.

IMPORTANT: Make a note of the SCSI ID setting. When server node 2 is configured, it

cannot have the same ID as server node 1. For example, if server node 1 is set for

SCSI ID 7, then server node 2 must be set to ID 6.

pertaining to only one adapter. Uncheck the Intel 82557 based 10/100 Ethernet PCI

Adapter and leave the Compaq Ethernet or Fast Ethernet NIC adapters checked. Continue

installing the operating system. You will see correct settings for both network adapters in

the ProLiant CL380 in subsequent screens of the installation process.

installation, you have the option of viewing the Error Log. View the log

by clicking on Yes. If you select No, the system reboots.

Manual Installation Using SmartStart

Performing a manual installation with SmartStart minimizes SmartStart’s

involvement. The manual installation routine runs the Compaq System

Configuration Utility. When you are prompted for the Microsoft Windows

NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition CD, SmartStart transfers the installation

procedure to Windows NT. Follow the instructions on the Windows

NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition installation screens.

To manually install the cluster software using SmartStart, you need the

following:

■ Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD 4.90 or later

■ Compaq Management CD 4.90 or later

■ SmartStart installation poster

■ Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition

■ Compaq Server Support for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (SSD) diskettes

NOTE: Compaq Server Support for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (SSD) diskettes are made

by using the Diskette Builder utility located on the SmartStart and Support Software CD.

Configuring Server Node 1

1. Apply power to the shared storage area and boot server node 1 with the

SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select

which language you would like to use and follow the installation

process.

3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Manual

Configuration path. Follow the guided installation process. If you need

help, refer to the online help by clicking on the Help button.

4. After the operating system has been selected, SmartStart runs the
