Quorum Modifications for the Netfinity 7000 Tower Cluster Example

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

  1.  Define two of the six 9.1 GB drives in Bank E of expansion unit 3 or Bank E of expansion unit 4 as a  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 Adapter 3 Channel 3 SCSI ID from 7 to 6.
  3.  Install the Third Channel Cable Option on Channel 3 of ServeRAID Adapter 2 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.

  4.  Attach an 8-mm to 68-pin converter, IBM Part Number 01K8017, to one of the ServeRAID Adapter 2  Channel 3 external connectors.
  5.  Using a 4.3 meter cable, IBM Part Number 01K8029, connect Channel 3 of ServeRAID Adapter 2 in  Server A to Channel 3 of ServeRAID Adapter 2 in Server B.
