permissions on each node. Each node must be a member server, or
must be a domain controller inside the same domain. A mix of domain
controllers and member servers in a cluster is not supported.

4.7.1

Install the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system on each node.
Refer to your Windows 2000 manual for information.

Log on as administrator before you install the Cluster Services.

4.7.2

Setting Up Networks

Important:

Do not allow both nodes to access the shared storage
device before the Cluster Service is installed. To prevent
this, power down any shared storage devices, then power
up nodes one at a time. Install the Clustering Service on at
least one node, and ensure it is online before you power up
the second node.

Install at least two network card adapters for each cluster node. One
network card adapter card is used to access the public network. The
second network card adapter is used to access the cluster nodes.

The network card adapter used to access the cluster nodes establishes
the following:

Node-to-node communications

Cluster status signals

Cluster Management

Ensure that all the network connections are correct. Network cards that
access the public network must be connected to the public network.
Network cards that access the cluster nodes must connect to each other.

Verify that all network connections are correct, with private network
adapters connected only to other private network adapters, and public
network adapters connected only to the public network. View the
Network and Dial-up Connections screen in

Figure 4.6

to check the

connections.
