3Set the client system’s public network segment(s) to All communications.

This setting provides a redundant path for the cluster-to-cluster communication in the event the private network fails.

4For all subsequent network adapters, set each network adapter to Client use only or All communications.

5Set the priority of the networks so that the network you designated as Private has the highest priority for internal communications.

You can set the priority of the networks when you install MSCS or when using Cluster Administrator software.

Configuring Cluster Networks Running Windows Server 2003

When you install and configure a cluster running Windows Server 2003, the software installation wizard automatically assigns and configures the public and private networks for your cluster. You can rename a network, allow or disallow the cluster to use a particular network, or modify the network role using Cluster Administrator. Dell recommends that you configure at least one network for the cluster interconnect (private network) and one network for

all communications.

Installing and Configuring Microsoft Windows 2000 Cluster Service (MSCS)

After the Windows 2000 setup files are copied to the cluster node, Windows 2000 reboots and enters the second phase of installation.

During this phase, the Windows 2000 setup prompts you for the product key, licensing mode, system name, and additional information before starting the Windows 2000 Components program. From this dialog box, you can select the Windows 2000 core components for installation. Selecting Cluster Service copies the required files to the system.

If your operating system was preinstalled by Dell or you did not select Cluster Service when you installed the operating system, you can install the Cluster Service later by running the Add/Remove Components from the Control Panel.

After the Windows 2000 setup completes and all clustering prerequisites are met, run the Cluster Configuration wizard to complete the installation, add the other node to the cluster, and configure cluster resources.

To access the Cluster Configuration wizard:

1From node 1, click the Start button and select Run.

2In the Run box, type the following:

C:\windows\cluster\cluscfg.exe

3Click OK.
