Install Microsoft Windows 2000 to each node.  See your Windows 2000 manual on how to install
the Operating System.

Log on as administrator before you install the Cluster Services.

Note: 

Do not allow both nodes to access the shared storage device before the Cluster Service is installed.
In order to prevent this, power down any shared storage devices and then power up nodes one at a
time. Install the Clustering Service on at least one node and make sure it is online before you
power up the second node.

Install at least two network card adapters per each cluster node.  One network card adapter card is
used to access the public network.  The second network card adapter is used to access the cluster
nodes.

The network card adapter that is used to access the cluster nodes establishes the following:

•  Node to node communications

•  Cluster status signals

•  Cluster Management

Check to make sure that all the network connections are correct.  Network cards that access the
public network must be connected to the public network.  Network cards that access the cluster
nodes must connect to each other.
