Configuring the Shared Storage
To configure the shared storage:
1. Power on one server and boot from the SmartStart 6.1 (or later) CD.
2. After booting with the SmartStart CD, click the Maintenance tab, then select and
run the Array Configuration Utility.
3. From the Array Configuration Utility Configuration screen, select the Smart
Array Cluster Controller to configure the shared storage hard drives. Refer to
the HP Array Configuration Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD for
detailed information.
4. Reboot the server and log in.
Format and mount the shared storage disks.
5.
NOTE: No action is required on the second server at this time.
LifeKeeper Install
Proceed with the LifeKeeper install as instructed in the planning and installation
guide for the specific LifeKeeper Product being installed. Refer to the LifeKeeper for
Linux Release Notes for additional information.
IMPORTANT: The steeleye-lkCCISS-<LifeKeeper Version> package is required for Linux
clustering. Be sure to select this option when selecting packages to install.
IMPORTANT: If prompted to install the CCISS driver during the LifeKeeper for Linux
installation process, answer no. The CCISS driver from HP must be used. Do not confuse the
CCISS driver with the CCISS package that is installed during the LifeKeeper installation
process. The CCISS driver and package are both needed for LifeKeeper for Linux to work
properly.

Validating the LifeKeeper Cluster Configuration
After the systems are configured and the resource hierarchy tree is functional from
within LifeKeeper, system failover should be tested. To test failover:
1. Run the LifeKeeper console GUI on server node B. The console screen shows
server node A as active and server node B in standby.
2. Right-click servernode B and select In Service. A window displays as the
scripts are run to switch server node B into service as the active system.
3. After server node B is active, right-click server node A and select In Service.
Again, a window displays as the scripts run to make server node A active.
4. After server node A is active, turn off the power to server node A. This initiates a
failure and server node B should become active.
There will be a slight pause before server node B takes over. This is normal
because it takes a few seconds for server node B to see that the heartbeat signal
for server node A is gone.
Configuration is now complete.
IMPORTANT: If the packaged cluster is being transferred, return to “Setup in the
Configuration Fixture” in Chapter 2 or refer to the packaged cluster hardware installation and
configuration poster to complete the process.
