Launching Microsoft Cluster Administrator
Cluster Administrator is Microsoft's tool for configuring and administering a cluster. The following procedures describe how to run Cluster Administrator locally
on a cluster node and how to install the tool on a remote console.
To launch Cluster Administrator, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Start button and select Programs.
2. Select Administrative Tools.
3. Select Cluster Administrator.
Adding a NIC to a Cluster Node
This procedure assumes that Windows Storage Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, the current Windows Service Pack, and MSCS are installed on both cluster
nodes.
NOTE:
The IP addresses used in the following sections are examples only and are not representative of actual addresses to use. The IP addresses are
192.168.1.101 for the NIC in the first node and 192.168.1.102 for the NIC in the second node. The subnet mask for both nodes is 255.255.255.0.
1. Move all cluster resources from the cluster node you are upgrading to another node in the cluster.
See the Cluster Service documentation for information about moving cluster resources to a specific node.
2. Shut down the cluster node you are upgrading and install the additional NIC in that system.
See the system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions about installing expansion cards in your system.
3. Boot to the Windows operating system.
