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
x
S and 22
x
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:
1
Click the
Start
button, select
Programs
, select
Administrative Tools
, and click
Computer
Management
.
2
Select
System Tools
, select
Device Manager
, and click the + sign to expand SCSI and RAID
controllers. One or more PERC cards are listed.
3
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
