Stewart Module 4: Installing Cluster Service iii Instructor Notes Presentation: 30 Minutes Lab: 30 Minutes This module is about installing Cluster service The installation is a standard install using the Cluster Configuration Wizard The students need to have an understanding of the choices that they are going to make during the install, such as where to place the cluster configuration files and assigning the network adapters for cluster communication Students perform post-installation tasks to verify that Cluster service is properly installed After completing this module, students will be able to: Install Cluster service on one or more servers (single or multinode clusters) Assign a Cluster service account Specify which disks Cluster service will manage Assign a location for the cluster file storage Configure network adapters for public, private, or mixed cluster communications Verify that Cluster service has been installed as a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 service, and that the correct changes have been made to the registry, directories, and event log Materials and Preparation This section provides the materials and preparation tasks that you need to teach this module Required Materials To teach this module, you need the following materials: Microsoft PowerPoint® file 2087A_02.ppt Windows 2000 Installation Files Preparation Tasks To prepare for this module, you should: Read the materials for this module and anticipate questions students may ask Install Cluster service several times before teaching the class Understand the concepts of the quorum, the service account, and cluster network communications Practice the lab Study the review questions and prepare alternative answers for discussion iv Module 4: Installing Cluster Service Module Strategy Use the following strategy to present this module: This module follows the steps in the Cluster Service Installation Wizard for installing Cluster service At the end of the module, students need to understand the choices that they will make when they install Cluster service on the job The lab reinforces the installation and verification procedures Installing Cluster Service In this section you will step through the installation of Cluster service by using the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard The wizard prompts the user for configuration choices • Create or Join a Cluster: The wizard first prompts you to either create a new cluster or join an existing one When creating a new cluster, you will typically not use the cluster name for any resources other than cluster administration • Cluster Service Account: The wizard does not create the Cluster service account, and you must set up the account prior to installing Cluster service • Shared Disks and Cluster File Storage: The wizard prompts you for disks that the cluster will manage The list of unmanaged disks contains all of the disks that are associated with the node, but are not on the same bus as the operating system After selecting the disks that Cluster service will manage, you need to decide which disk you will use for the cluster configuration files This disk will be the same disk that you will use for the quorum • Configuring Cluster Communications: When creating a new cluster, you need to decide whether you will use a network card for cluster communication If you will use a network card for cluster communications, you then decide what type of communications will be performed on that network interface card (NIC): private, public, or mixed Module 4: Installing Cluster Service Post-Installation After installing Cluster service, it is a best practice to go through the cluster service properties, files, registry settings and event logs to verify that the installation was successful • Cluster Service Properties: Cluster service runs as a single service on each node of the cluster You need to check the startup type, the service status, and verify the log on account for the service account on each node • Location of Cluster Files and Folders: After the installation, it is a best practice to know what files and folders have been added to the node and the shared disks This information can be useful in the restoration of a cluster after a failure • Registry Settings: The installation of Cluster service adds a cluster hive to the registry Remind the students that hives are backed up as part of the system state Cluster service replicates the cluster hive to the shared disk and to the other node of the cluster • Event Log: Depending on whether you are creating or joining a cluster, you will see different results in the event log The event log is also the first place to look if the service was not installed correctly v vi Module 4: Installing Cluster Service Instructor Setup for a Lab Lab Strategy In this lab, one student will create a cluster When the cluster has been successfully created, the other student will join the cluster Students must work in pairs to complete this lab After installation, students view the changes that were made to each node of the cluster Lab A: Installing Cluster Service To conduct this lab: Read though the lab carefully, paying close attention to the instructions and details Students work in teams of two, grouped together by their shared bus Familiarize the students with the Reference Table and how to find their computers in the table Make sure that the students understand that they are to begin the lab by installing Cluster service on Node A, and then join Node B to the created cluster Module 4: Installing Cluster Service

Enter the network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) name of the cluster to be joined Enter a Cluster service account password for the new node Module 4: Installing Cluster Service Creating or Joining a Cluster Topic Objective To illustrate how to create the first node and join the second node in a server cluster Lead-in Cluster Service Configuration Wizard Create or Join a Cluster You can create a new cluster, or you can join an existing one This server is: The first node in the cluster If this server is the first node in a cluster, you are creating a new cluster The second or next node in the cluster If at least one other node already exists, you are joining an existing cluster Cluster Service Configuration Wizard You can either create or join a cluster In creating a cluster, you assign a cluster name You join a new node to the cluster by using this cluster name Cluster Name You must name the new cluster Type a name for the new cluster: CLUSTER1 < Back Next > Next > Cancel < Back Next > Next > Cancel *****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** The first action that you take in the installation process is to specify whether you are creating a new cluster or adding nodes to an existing one A multinode cluster is installed in two phases First, you install Cluster service on a single server, which will become the first (or only) node in the new cluster You cannot complete the Cluster installation or add additional nodes until you have completed all of the installation requirements that the wizard has requested The second phase is to install any additional nodes that will become part of the cluster Create or Join a Cluster Select The first node in the cluster option to install the first node of a cluster and create the cluster You will need to enter a unique network name (NetBIOS name) for the cluster when you select this option After you have entered the name, click Next to continue the installation Select The second or next node in the cluster when you are adding nodes to a cluster You will need to know the NetBIOS name of the cluster when you select this option Cluster Name When you create a cluster, you must assign a cluster name, which you will use for cluster management The name is the first virtual server of the cluster This virtual server is installed by default in a group called Cluster Group When you have assigned the cluster name, click Next to continue the installation 10 Module 4: Installing Cluster Service Post-Installation Topic Objective To introduce the ways to verify that Cluster service is properly installed Lead-in The first step in verifying a successful installation is to open Administrative Tools and verify that the service is started A Windows 2000 cluster only uses one service to run the cluster Cluster Service Properties Location of Cluster Files and Folders Registry Settings Event Log *****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************** There are many ways to verify that Cluster service has been successfully installed A simple method is to use the PING protocol to locate the cluster name Using the PING protocol will verify that Cluster service was started and was able to register the cluster network name In addition, it is recommended that you check to verify whether the following changes have been made to your system: Cluster service is installed Cluster service files and folders are installed in the correct directories The new entries have been written to the registry The event log indicates that a successful cluster has been formed You will need to repeat these verification steps each time that you add a new node to the cluster Module 4: Installing Cluster Service 11 Cluster
