Step 8.

Change the initiator ID in the Objects

Adapter→ Initiator ID

menu.

For example, you can change the initiator ID to 6. If ID 6 is used
by a disk drive, select a different ID.

Step 9.

Power down the first server.

Step 10. Attach the Storage Adapter to the shared array.

Step 11. Configure the first Storage Adapter to the arrays using the

Configure

New Configuration menu.

Important.

Use the entire array size of any created array. Do not create
partitions of different sizes on the RAID arrays from the
BIOS Configuration Utility (); these cannot be
failed over individually when they are assigned drive letters
in Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

Step 12. Follow the on-screen instructions to create arrays and save the

configuration.

Step 13. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the second Storage Adapter.

Note:

Changing the initiator ID is optional if you had changed the
initiator for Node 1 to 6. The initiator ID for Node 2 remains
7 when the cluster mode is enabled.

Step 14. Power down the second server.

Step 15. Attach the cables for the second Storage Adapter to the shared

enclosure, and power up the second server.

Step 16. If a configuration mismatch occurs, press to enter

the BIOS Configuration Utility.

Step 17. Go to the Configure

View/Add Configuration→ View Disk

menu to display the disk configuration.

Step 18. Save the configuration.

Step 19. Proceed to the driver installation for a Microsoft cluster

environment.
