Quorum Modifications for the PC Server 325 Rack Cluster Example 1

If you want to use the Microsoft Cluster Server program, you can modify this example configuration as follows:

1.  Install two additional drives in the enclosure.
2.  Define the two drives as one RAID level-1 logical drive, then, use that logical drive as your quorum drive.
3.  In Server B, use the ServeRAID utility program to change the ServeRAID adapter Channel 3 SCSI ID from 7 to 6.
4.  Install a Third Channel Cable Option on the ServeRAID adapters in both servers.

   Note: The part number for the ServeRAID II Third Channel Cable option is 76H5400. If you are  connecting ServeRAID-3H adapters to the Quorum drive, install the Third Channel Cable option provided with the ServeRAID-3H adapter.

5.  Attach an 8-mm to 68-pin converter, IBM Part Number 01K8017, to the external Channel 3 connector  on one of the ServeRAID adapters.
6.  Using a 4.3 meter cable, IBM Part Number 01K8029, connect Channel 3 of the ServeRAID adapter in  Server A to Channel 3 of the ServeRAID adapter in Server B.
