Task 1: Evict Node_B from the Cluster

Task 1: Evict Node_B from the Cluster

To evict Node_B from the cluster:

1.Ensure that the cluster resources failed over to Node_A, the working node. This includes the quorum disk and any shared disks.

2.If any of the data that failed over from Node_B to Node_A is corrupt, use the NetWorker software to recover the data.

Note: You may need to shut down some cluster resources that depend on this data.

3.From the Cluster Administrator on Node_A, evict Node_B from the cluster.

4.Shut down Node_B if it is still running and disconnect it from the cluster.

5.Fix or replace the damaged hardware on Node_B, if necessary.

6.Reconnect Node_B to the cluster.

Task 2: Reinstall Windows NT 4.0 and MSCS on Node_B

To reinstall Windows NT and MSCS on Node_B:

1.

Install the Windows NT 4.0 Server Enterprise Edition.

2.

Apply Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3.

3.

Install the MSCS software.

4.

If the node had a local tape drive, install the device driver.
