Chapter 18. iSCSI configuration 3 - Windows 2003 Cluster 405
Draft Document for Review August 30, 2007 12:59 am 7065iSCSI_Config3.fm
18.2 Operating system installation
Perform a standard installation of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition on each
cluster node. Apply Service pack 1 as it is required as a prerequisite for hot fix KB916048.
This hotfix is a requirement for the RDAC failover driver. Install the hotfix KB916048, which
can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=027e693a-2221-4136-95bf-7
d676c8c3989&displaylang=en. When installing on actual System x servers, refer to the
installation guide for that server for more details about installing the operating system.
18.3 Prepare cluster installation
1. After installing the operating system, review the checklists for Microsoft Server Cluster
Services (MSCS) for specific recommendations. The checklists are available in the
Windows 2003 online help. We assume you are familiar with MSCS, and provide summary
information only here.
2. Configure the network interfaces that are required. Our configuration is shown in 18.1,
“Network configuration” on page 404. We recommend using static IP addresses. After
setting the IP addresses, go to My Network Places and rename the network connections
to represent their functions. To do this, right-click on each interface in turn and select
Rename. This makes identifying each network easier.
