When the installation is complete, shutdown Node 2.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition supports up to 8 nodes in a cluster. Repeat the installation
instructions on any additional nodes that will join the cluster.
Configuring the Shared Storage
The following table provides a checklist of the steps necessary to configure the EVA shared storage.
Place a checkmark (3) in the box after completing each step.

Configuring the Shared Storage
Power on both nodes and log into the network domain.
Verify the FCAs have the most current supported firmware.
Verify the FCAs firmware by accessing the lputilnt utility. However, do not make any driver parameter changes using this
utility.
Select Start Æ run Æ \winnt\system32\lputilnt
Log into the Storage Management Appliance.
Launch HP StorageWorks Command View EVA.
Select Devices→Command view
Click on the uninitialized storage subsystem by clicking on Uninitialized Storage System→Initialize.
Note: If this is the first time the Storage Management Appliance sees the EVA, a basic license is required to continue
configuring the subsystem.
Configure the disk groups. A disk group cannot contain less than eight disks.
Note: Decide how many disk groups are going to be created on the subsystem. The EVA can be configured with a
single default disk group that consists of all the physical disks in the subsystem or it can be configured with multiple disk
groups.
Set the storage subsystem time.
Add all cluster nodes to the EVA.
Select your EVA and then select Hosts. Click Add a Host and enter a host name and IP address. Click Next Step
and enter an adapter port World Wide ID (WWID). Use the information that was gathered before installing the FCAs in
the server. Select Microsoft Windows as the operating system. Click Next Step. Click Finish, OK.
Note: If the wrong IP address is entered and saved, it cannot be changed. You will have to delete and recreate the host.
Add the second FCA to the host.
Click Add a Port. Select the second FCA from the list that was installed in the host. Click Finish, OK.
Repeat these steps for the second host.
Create Virtual Disks.
Select Virtual Disks. Click Create VD Fam. Enter a virtual disk name. Select Vraid. Select a preferred path - either
Path A-Failover only or Path B-Failover only. Click Finish, OK.
Repeat these steps to create the virtual disks that are required.
Note: With Windows hosts, the only supported path settings are either Path A-Failover only or Path B-Failover
only. A windows host requires Secure Path to manage the failover/failback operations.
Present the Virtual Disks to the cluster nodes.
Select a virtual disk, click Present. Select a host. Click Finish, OK. Click Present. Select the second host. Click
Finish, OK.
Select another virtual disk and repeat these steps until all the virtual disks in the cluster are presented to all hosts.
Note: Verify that the LUNs are presented to all nodes with the same LUN number.
