8.After you have configured all of the servers, reconnect all of the cables to the PowerVault 65xF storage systems.

9.Turn on all of the servers, one at a time. Configure zoning on the Fibre Channel switches. Each zone consists of a cluster pair (2 servers), the PowerVault 65xF, and the Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge (if that zone is participating in the SAN backup).

See the Dell PowerVault SAN documentation for information about configuring zoning.

10.Start the Storage Consolidation Administrator on the Storage Consolidation Master node. Use the Server Group Assign option to assign the current disks used by the existing PowerEdge Cluster F-Series system back to both of its nodes. Assign other disks to both nodes of each additional cluster.

11.Repeat the following steps on each node of the existing PowerEdge Cluster F-Series system:

a.For Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, select the Devices applet in the Control Panel. Change the start-up setting for Cluster Disk from Disabled back to System.

For Windows 2000, right-click the My Computer desktop icon, point to Properties, select the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. Click View, and then select Show Hidden Devices. Expand Non-Plug and Play drivers. Click Cluster Disk, and then select the Driver tab. Change the startup set- ting for Cluster Disk from Disabled back to System.

b.For Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, select Services applet in the Control Panel. Change the start-up setting for Cluster Service from Disabled back to Automatic.

For Windows 2000, select Start, point to Programs, point to Administra- tive Tools, and then point to Services. Change the startup setting for Cluster Service from Disabled back to Automatic.

c.Reboot the node.

12.Shutdown Windows on all additional servers.

13.Install MSCS software on each additional cluster.

Since each cluster now has its own set of disks, follow the installation procedure for a typical PowerEdge Cluster F-Series system installation (format the disks, assign the drive letters, and install MSCS software, and so on).
