Verifying Cluster Readiness
To ensure that your server and storage systems are ready for MSCS installation, ensure that these systems are functioning correctly and verify
the following:
All cluster servers are able to log on to the same domain.
The shared disks are partitioned and formatted, and the same drive letters that reference logical drives on the shared storage system
are used on each node.
All IP addresses and network names for each cluster node are communicating with each other and the public network
Installing Applications in the Cluster Group
The Cluster Group contains a network name and IP address resource, which is used to manage the cluster. Because the Cluster Group is
dedicated to cluster management and for best cluster performance, Dell recommends that you do not install applications in this group.
Installing the Quorum Resource
When you install a Windows Storage Server 2003 cluster, the installation wizard automatically selects an NTFS disk as the quorum resource for
you, which you can modify later. When you complete the procedures in the wizard, you can select another disk for the quorum using Cluster
Administrator. To prevent quorum resource corruption, Dell and Microsoft recommend that you do not place data on the disk.
Creating a LUN for the Quorum Resource
Dell recommends creating a separate LUN—approximately 1 GB in size—for the quorum resource.
When you create the LUN for the quorum resource:
Format the LUN with NTFS.
Use the LUN exclusively for your quorum logs.
Do not store any application data or user data on the quorum resource.
To easily identify the quorum resource, Dell recommends that you assign the drive letter "Q" to the quorum resource.
