Quorum Modifications for the Netfinity 5000 Rack Cluster Example

Quorum Modifications for the Netfinity 5000 Rack Cluster Example

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

1.  Define two drives in either enclosure as one RAID level-1 logical drive, then, use that logical drive as  your quorum drive.
2.  In Server B, use the ServeRAID utility program to change the ServeRAID-3H adapter Channel 3 SCSI  ID from 7 to 6.
3.  In both servers, install the Third Channel Cable Option on the ServeRAID adapters that will connect to  the enclosure for the Quorum drive.

   Notes:

   1.  The ServeRAID-3H Third Channel Cable option comes packaged with the ServeRAID-3H adapter.
   2.  If you want to connect ServeRAID II adapters to the Quorum drive, you must  obtain and install the  ServeRAID II Third Channel Cable Option, part number 76H5400.
   3.  You cannot use ServeRAID-3L adapters for the Quorum link.

4.  Using a 4.2 meter cable, IBM Part Number 03K9311, connect Channel 3 of the ServeRAID-3H adapter  in Server A to Channel 3 of the ServeRAID-3H adapter in Server B.
