Platform Guide 3

This document provides information for installing and connecting peripheral hardware

components to your Dell™ PowerVault™ network attached storage (NAS) small computer system

interface (SCSI) cluster solution. The configuration information in this document is specific to the

cluster configuration listed in Table 1-1.

NOTE: Configurations not listed in this document are not certified or supported by Dell or Microsoft.

Supported Cluster Configurations

The PowerVault NAS SCSI cluster supports clustering using the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)

on the Windows Storage Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating system that is installed on your

PowerVault NAS system. The NAS SCSI cluster supports the following NAS systems installed as

cluster nodes in homogeneous (identical) pairs:

• PowerVault 770N NAS systems

• PowerVault 775N NAS systems

For external storage, the NAS SCSI cluster supports the PowerVault 21

S and 22

S storage systems

connected to one or more supported Dell PowerEdge™ Expandible RAID controller (PERC) cards.

Rules and Guidelines

When configuring your cluster, both cluster nodes must contain identical versions of the following:

• Operating systems and service packs

• Hardware drivers for the network adapters, RAID controllers, and any other peripheral

hardware components

Obtaining More Information

See Table 1-2 for more information on supported configurations.

See the

Dell PowerVault NAS SCSI Cluster Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

for a

detailed list of related documentation.

Installing the Operating System

Windows Storage Server 2003, Enterprise Edition must be installed on your NAS system for cluster

support. See the

Dell PowerVault NAS SCSI Cluster Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

included with your system or see the Dell Support website located at

support.dell.com

Installing Peripheral Components in Your Cluster Node

PCI/PCI-X Slots

This section provides configuration information for adding network adapters and RAID controllers

into your cluster nodes.

Installing the PERC Card

You must install the PERC card in a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X slot up to 133 MHz or a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI

slot. See Table 1-2 for information about your specific system.

If you are using multiple PERC cards, Dell recommends that you install them on separate PCI

buses for load balancing.

Ensure that your system has the correct Windows driver. To verify your PERC driver, perform the

following steps:

Click the

Start

button, select

Programs

, select

Administrative Tools

, and click

Computer

Management

Select

System Tools

, select

Device Manager

, and click the + sign to expand SCSI and RAID

controllers. One or more PERC cards are listed.

Right-click the appropriate PERC card, select

Properties

, select the

Driver

tab, and verify the

driver version.

Updating the PERC Firmware

Ensure that your PERC firmware is updated to the latest version. See your PERC documentation

for information about downloading the latest firmware. See the Dell Support website located

support.dell.com

for the latest firmware version.

Adding Peripherals to Your Cluster Nodes

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any

of the components inside the system. See your

System Information Guide

for complete information about

safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTE: To ensure that the SCSI or RAID controller attached to the boot drives initializes first, you might

have to change the device controller priority order using the system BIOS utility or physically change the

order of the RAID adapters. This process ensures that the Windows operating system numbers the boot

drives in the proper sequence.

Platform Guide 5

Table 1-2 provides the supported RAID controllers and network adapters for your cluster nodes.

Cluster Data Sheet

The following sheet can be attached to the back of each cluster node or rack and used by the

system installer to record important information about the cluster hardware on each cluster

component. If you need to call Dell for technical support, complete this sheet before you call and

have it available for the technician to assist you with your problem.

The following information is required for the configuration matrix form:

• Cluster name, installer, date installed, and notes

• Cluster system information

• Storage array description for each storage array

• Service tag information for each cluster component

• PCI slot number for each cluster node, a description of each PCI slot, the adapters installed in

each slot, and a usage description for each installed adapter
