8. Configure zoning on the Fibre Channel switches by turning on the servers one at
a time. Each zone consists of a cluster pair (2 servers), the PowerVault 65xF, and
the Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge (if that zone is participating in the SAN backup).
See the Dell PowerVault SAN documentation for information about configuring
zoning.
9. Start the
Storage Consolidation Administrator
on the Storage Consolidation
Master node. For each cluster, use the
Server Group Assign
option to assign
LUNs to both cluster nodes. It is important to use the
Server Group Assign
option to assign one disk to multiple servers.
See the Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation documentation for more
information.
10. Shutdown Windows on all of the servers.
11. Install MSCS software on each cluster. Because each cluster has its own set of
disks now, follow the standard PowerEdge Cluster F-Series installation (format
the disks, assign the drive letters, and install MSCS software, and so on).
12. Install Dell OpenManage Data Agent on both nodes of one cluster and create the
Generic Service cluster resource for the Agent.
