0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 74 of 206

3 Select – internal cluster communication only - , click Apply and OK.

It is recommended that you change the names of the network connections for clarity. For example, you might want to change the name of Local Area Connection 2 to something like Private. Renaming will help you identify a network and correctly assign its role.

31. Click Start, point to Control Panel, right-click Network Connections, and then click Open

32. Right-click the Local Area Connection 2 icon.

33. Click Rename.

34. Type “Interconnect” in the textbox, and then press ENTER.

35. Repeat steps 1 through 3, and then rename the public network adapter as “Public LAN”.

0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 75 of 206

Figure 3: Renamed sample icons in the Network Connections window.

36. The renamed icons should look like those in Figure 2 above. Close the Network

Connections window. The new connection names will appear in Cluster Administrator and automatically replicate to all other cluster nodes as they are brought online.

3.3.5.4. Configuring the Interconnect Network Adapter

1. Right-click the network connection for your heartbeat adapter, and then click Properties.

2. On the General tab, make sure that only the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box is selected, as shown in Figure 3 below. Click to clear the check boxes for all other clients, services, and protocols.

0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 76 of 206

Figure 4: Select only the Internet Protocol check box

If you have a network adapter that is capable of transmitting at multiple speeds, you should manually specify a speed and duplex mode. Do not use an auto-select setting for speed, because some adapters may drop packets while determining the speed. The speed for the network adapters must be hard set (manually set) to be the same on all nodes according to the card manufacturer's specification. If you are not sure of the supported speed of your card and connecting devices, Microsoft recommends you set all devices on that path to 10 megabytes per second (Mbps) and Half Duplex, as shown in Figure below. The amount of information that is traveling across the heartbeat network is small, but latency is critical for communication. This configuration will provide enough bandwidth for reliable communication. All network adapters in a cluster attached to the same network must be configured identically to use the same Duplex Mode, Link Speed, Flow Control, and so on.

0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 77 of 206

Figure 5: Setting the speed and duplex for all adaptors

Note: Microsoft does not recommend that you use any type of fault-tolerant adapter or "Teaming" for the heartbeat. If you require redundancy for your heartbeat connection, use multiple network adapters set to Internal Communication Only and define their network priority in the Cluster configuration. Issues seen with early multi-ported network adapters, verify that your firmware and driver are at the most current revision if you use this technology.

1. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

2. On the General tab, verify that you have selected the static IP address that is not on the same subnet or network as any other public network adapter. It is recommended that you put the private network adapter in one of the following private network ranges:

a. 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 (Class A)

b. 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 (Class B)

c. 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 (Class C)

3. An example of a good IP address to use for the private adapters is 10.10.10.10 on node 1 and 10.10.10.11 on node 2 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, as shown in Figure below.

0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 78 of 206

Be sure that this is a completely different IP address scheme then the one used for the public network.

Figure 6: An example of an IP address to use for private adapters.

1. Verify that there are no values defined in the Default Gateway box or under Use the Following DNS server addresses.

2. Click the Advanced button.

3. On the DNS tab, verify that no values are defined. Make sure that the Register this connection's addresses in DNS and Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration check boxes are cleared.

4. On the WINS tab, verify that there are no values defined. Click Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP as shown in Figure below on the next page.

5. When you close the dialog box, you may receive the following prompt: “This connection has an empty primary WINS address. Do you want to continue?” If you receive this prompt, click Yes

6. Complete steps 1 through 10 on all other nodes in the cluster with different static IP addresses.

3.3.5.5. Configuring the Public Network Adapter

The above-described steps are also valid here.

3.3.5.6. Setting Up a Cluster User Account

The Cluster service requires a domain user account that is a member of the Local Administrators group on each node, under which the Cluster service can run. Because setup requires a user name and password, this user account must be created before configuring the Cluster service.

This user account should be dedicated only to running the Cluster service, and should not belong to an individual.

Note: The cluster service account does not need to be a member of the Domain Administrators group. For security reasons, granting domain administrator rights to the cluster service account is not recommended.

The cluster service account requires the following rights to function properly on all nodes in the cluster. The Cluster Configuration Wizard grants the following rights automatically:

Act as part of the operating system

Adjust memory quotas for a process

Back up files and directories

Increase scheduling priority

Log on as a service

Restore files and directories

0467-ICS Dover Air Force Base Page 81 of 206

4. ICS-Server – How To

4.1. Startup

Situation: All components are switched off. Steps:

1. Switch on the external disk array.

2. Switch on the primary server (ICSSRV1).

3. After the primary server is up:

Switch on the secondary server (ICSSRV2).

During startup procedure the secondary server needs a waiting time until the primary server has detected the external disk enclosure.

4.2. Shutdown

Situation: All components are switched on. Steps:

4. Shut down the operating system (ICSSRV2).

The switch off will be performed by the server itself.

5. Shut down the operating system (ICSSRV1).

The switch off will be performed by the server itself.

6. Switch off the external disk array.

4.3. Replacing Hard Disk

The Server PC and the external disk array include the same type of hard disk.

The hard disks are “hot-plug” Hard disks. That means you can add and remove hard disks on a running system. On the disk enclosure a red Led shows you a failure of a hard disk.

Change the defect disk by removing it from the system and plug a new disk inside.

The system will automatically regenerate the new disk.

Refer to “Blade server installation.pdf”, appendix c and d.

4.4. Test Failover

4.4.1. To verify that resources will failover

1. Click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Cluster Administrator, as shown in Figure below.

Figure 28: The Cluster Administrator window

2. Right-click the Disk Group 1 group, and then click Move Group. The group and all its resources will be moved to another node. After a short period of time, the Disk : G: will be brought online on the second node. Watch the window to see this shift. Quit Cluster

Administrator.

3. Congratulations! You have completed the configuration of the cluster service on all nodes.

The server cluster is fully operational. You are now ready to install cluster resources such as file shares, printer spoolers, cluster aware services like Distributed Transaction

Coordinator, DHCP, WINS, or cluster-aware programs.
