Certain network communications are necessary for cluster operations, applications and services hosted by the cluster, and clients accessing those services. If the Internet Connection Firewall is enabled on the cluster nodes, install and run the Security Configuration Wizard, and then configure access for the cluster service and for any applications or services hosted by the cluster and the operating system.

See the following Microsoft Base articles located at the Microsoft Support website at support.microsoft.com for more information:

•KB883398 — Internet Connection Firewall

•KB832017 — Network ports used by the Windows Server 2003 operating system

Installing the PERC RAID Adapters

For systems with dual PERC RAID adapters, Dell recommends installing the cards on separate Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses. Placing the cards on separate buses improves availability and performance.

See the Platform Guide for more information about your system's PCI bus configuration.

Updating the Windows Driver for the PERC RAID Adapter

Windows automatically installs a compatible driver for the PERC RAID adapters. The following procedure describes how to update the Windows driver to the PERC family driver.

NOTICE: To ensure proper functionality of the PERC RAID adapter for cluster or internal drive use, this driver must be updated. Perform the procedure at the completion of the Windows installation, when the system boots for the first time, and prior to configuring the shared drives.

If a PERC RAID adapter driver CD was not shipped with your system, go to the Dell Support website at support.dell.com to download the latest Windows driver for the PERC RAID adapter.

To update the default driver to a PERC RAID adapter driver, perform the following steps:

1Click the Start button, select Programs, select Administrative Tools, and click Computer Management.

2Select System Tools, select Device Manager, and click the plus sign (+) to expand SCSI and RAID controllers. One or more PERC RAID adapters are listed.

3Right-click the PERC RAID adapter, select Properties, select the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Windows Device Driver wizard.

4Click Next to proceed to the Install Hardware Device Drivers dialog box.

5Select Display a list of known drivers for this device… and then click Next.

6Click Have Disk, insert the diskette or the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD that contains Dell's updated driver, specify the location of the driver (A:> or D:>), and then click OK.

7Select the appropriate controller (PERC RAID adapter), and then click Next.

8Click Next to begin the installation.
