In-Depth Information
Be sure to use the same SCSI node values on the second VM. For example, if the i rst node
used SCSI 1:0 for the i rst RDM, then coni gure the second node to use the same coni gu-
ration. Don't forget to edit the SCSI bus sharing coni guration for the new SCSI adapter
(Physical SCSI bus sharing).
4. Power on the second VM.
5. Verify that the hard drives corresponding to the RDMs can be seen in Disk Manager. At
this point, the drives will show a status of Healthy, but drive letters will not be assigned.
Creating the Failover Cluster in Windows Server 2008
Perform the following steps to create the management cluster:
1. Log into the i rst node as an administrative user.
2. Launch Server Manager from the Start menu, if it doesn't launch automatically.
3. Click Add Features.
4. From the list of features in the Add Features Wizard, select Failover Clustering and
click Next.
5. Click Install. When the install is completed, click Close.
6. Repeat this process on the second node.
With failover clustering installed on both nodes, you can validate the cluster coni guration to
ensure that everything is coni gured properly:
1. Log into the i rst node as an administrative user.
2. From the Start menu, select Administrative Tools
Failover Cluster Management.
3. Click Validate A Coni guration. This launches the Validate A Coni guration Wizard.
Click Next to start the wizard.
4. Enter the names of both the i rst and second cluster nodes, clicking Add after each server
name to add it to the list. Click Next.
5. Leave the default selection (Run All Tests) and click Next.
6. Click Next at the Coni rmation step.
7. Review the report. If any errors are reported, follow the guidance to address the errors.
Click Finish when you are done.
Now you're ready to create the cluster:
1. While still logged into the i rst node as an administrative user and still running Failover
Cluster Management, click Create A Cluster.
2. At the i rst screen of the Create Cluster Wizard, click Next.
3. Enter the names of both nodes, and click Add after each server to add it to the list. Click
Next to continue.
4. Select the option to not run the validation tests (you've already run them). Click Next.
