4.8.5 Cluster Service Installation Steps
After the shared disk drive letters and network has been configured,
along with the cluster service account, power on one node and shut
down the second node.
During installation, some nodes are shut down, and other nodes are
rebooted. This is necessary to ensure uncorrupted data on disks
attached to the shared storage bus. Data corruption can occur when
multiple nodes try to write simultaneously to the same disk, if that disk is
not yet protected by the cluster software.
Table 4.3 shows which nodes and storage devices should be powered on
during each step.
