Avago Technologies MegaRAID SCSI 320-0 (520-0 CH) - Manual (Page 63)

Driver Installation Instructions under Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
4-5
•
A domain user account for Cluster Service (all nodes must be part
of the same domain)
•
Two network adapters for each node – one for connection to the
external network, the other for the node-to-node internal cluster
network. If you do not use two network adapters for each node, your
configuration is unsupported. HCL certification requires a separate
private network adapter.
4.4.2 Shared Disk Requirements
Disks can be shared by the nodes. The requirements for sharing disks
are the following:
•
All shared disks, including the quorum disk, must be physically
attached to the shared bus.
•
All disks attached to the shared bus must be visible from all nodes.
You can check this at the setup level in the BIOS Configuration Utility,
which is accessed by pressing during bootup. Refer to
Section 4.6, “Installing SCSI Drives,” page 4-12 , for installation
information.
•
Each SCSI device must have a unique SCSI identification number
assigned to it, and each device at the end of the bus must be
terminated properly. Refer to the storage enclosure manual for
details on installing and terminating SCSI devices.
•
Configure all shared disks as basic (not dynamic).
•
Format all partitions on the disks as NTFS.
Important: Use fault-tolerant RAID configurations for all disks. This
includes RAID levels 1, 5, 10, and 50.
