Before installing the Cluster Service software you must follow the steps below:

•Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server on each node

•Set up networks

•Set up disks

Note: These steps must be completed on every cluster node before proceeding with the installation of Cluster Service on the first node.

To configure the Cluster Service on a Windows 2000-based server, you must be able to log on as administrator or have administrative permissions on each node. Each node must be a member server, or must be a domain controller inside the same domain. A mix of domain controllers and member servers in a cluster is not acceptable.
