Installing and Configuring Clusters

Table 7.1

shows which nodes and storage devices should be powered on

during each step.

Before installing the Cluster Service software you must follow the steps
below:

Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter
Server on each node

Set up networks

Set up disks

Note:

These steps must be completed on every cluster node
before proceeding with the installation of Cluster Service on
the first node.

To configure the Cluster Service on a Windows 2000-based server, you
must be able to log on as administrator or have administrative
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 acceptable.
