Quorum Modifications for the Netfinity 7000 Rack Cluster Example

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

1.  Install two 4.5 GB drives in expansion unit 3, then, define the two drives as one RAID level-1 logical  drive that you can use as your quorum drive.
2.  In Server B, use the ServeRAID utility program to change the ServeRAID Adapter 2 Channel 3 SCSI ID from 7 to 6.
3.  Install a 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.
