LSI Series 518 7.4.8Verifying Domain Membership, 7.4.9Setting Up a Cluster User Account

Ping 192.168.0.172

and

Ping 10.1.1.1

from Node 1.

Then you would type:

Ping 192.168.0.172

and

10.1.1.1

from Node 2.

To conﬁrm name resolution, ping each node from a client using the node’s machine name instead of its IP number.

7.4.8Verifying Domain Membership

All nodes in the cluster have to be members of the same domain and capable of accessing a domain controller and a DNS Server. You can conﬁgure them as either member servers or domain controllers. If you plan to conﬁgure one node as a domain controller, you should conﬁgure all other nodes as domain controllers in the same domain as well.

7.4.9Setting Up a Cluster User Account

The Cluster Service requires a domain user account that the Cluster Service can run under. You must create the user account before installing the Cluster Service. The reason for this is that setup requires a user name and password. This user account should not belong to a user on the domain. Follow these steps to set up a cluster user account.
