Quorum Modifications for the PC Server 330 Tower Cluster Example

Quorum Modifications for the PC Server 330 Tower Cluster Example

If you want to use the Microsoft Cluster Server program, you can modify this example configuration as follows:

1.  Install two additional drives in Bank D of either expansion unit.
2.  In Server B, use the ServeRAID utility program to change the ServeRAID adapter Channel 3 SCSI ID from 7 to 6.
3.  Define the two drives as one RAID level-1 logical drive, then, use that logical drive as your quorum drive.
4.  Install a Third Channel Cable Option on the ServeRAID adapters in both servers.

   Note: The part number for the ServeRAID II Third Channel Cable option is 76H5400.
    If you are connecting ServeRAID-3H adapters to the Quorum drive, install the Third Channel Cable
    option provided with the ServeRAID-3H adapter.

5.  Attach an 8-mm to 68-pin converter, IBM Part Number 01K8017, to the external Channel 3 connector  on one of the ServeRAID adapters.
6.  Using a 4.3 meter cable, IBM Part Number 01K8029, connect Channel 3 of the ServeRAID adapter in  Server A to Channel 3 of the ServeRAID adapter in Server B.

   Note: The ServeRAID adapter must  be installed in PCI slot 4, 5, or 6
    when using the on-board RAID controller to manage the startup (boot) drives.
