If your computer does not support hot swapping, you must shut down both cluster nodes and turn off How to change
the computers to add or replace SCSI disks. You must shut down the cluster nodes completely because shutdown screen
the shared SCSI bus is disconnected when you add new disks to the SCSI bus. If the bus is disconnected
while you use the cluster, you may lose data or have other drive-related failures. Microsoft recommends İlgili Destek Merkezleri
that you turn off all the attached hardware while you perform this procedure.

2. Shut down both of the cluster nodes and turn off both of the computers.
3. Turn off all the SCSI devices on the shared SCSI bus.
4. Add or replace the hard disks on the shared SCSI bus.

Note Make sure that every device on the shared SCSI bus has a unique SCSI ID. SCSI host
adapters each use a SCSI ID (typically 6 and 7). Also, make sure that the SCSI bus is terminated
correctly.

5. Start node 1 of the cluster and let Windows to completely start on the node.
6. Turn on node 2 of the cluster, but do not let Windows start on the second node. To stop Windows
from loading:
a. For Windows NT 4.0 Server, at the OS Loader menu, press SPACEBAR to pause the
startup. When you pause the startup, you prevent Windows NT from loading.

message at the bottom of the screen, press F8 to pause the computer.

c. For Windows Server 2003, press F8 when the Power On Self Test (POST) is complete.
7. On node 1, partition and format the new drive, and then assign drive letters to the new disks that
are available on the shared SCSI bus.
a. For Windows NT 4.0 Server:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Disk Administrator (Windisk.exe).
2. Right-click the free space on the new drive, and then click Create to create a
partition.
3. Type a partition size in megabytes (MB), and then click OK.
4. Right-click the new partition, click Commit Changes Now, click Yes to save the
changes, and then click OK.
5. Right-click the new partition, and then click Format. Under File System, click
NTFS, click Start, click OK, click OK again, and then click Close.
6. Right-click the partition, click Assign Drive Letter, click the drive letter that you
want, click OK, and then click Yes to assign a drive letter to the partition. For
additional information about best practices for drive-letter assignments on a server
cluster, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

7. On the Tools menu, click Properties, and then in the Label box, type a volume
label that matches the corresponding drive letter.

For example, to label the partition for drive E, type E.

8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 of this section for each new drive and partition.
b. For Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003:
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
2. Expand Storage, and then click Disk Management.

Note If you connect to a new drive, the Write Signature and Upgrade Disk Wizard
starts automatically. Click Next to go through the wizard. The wizard sets the disk
to dynamic. To reset the disk to Basic, right-click Disk n, where n specifies the
disk you are working with, and then click Revert To Basic Disk. Make sure that
the disk is set to Basic before you partition the hard disk in step 3.

For additional information about dynamic and basic disks in a Cluster service
environment, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 of this section for each new drive and partition.
8. Restore the original startup values for the Cluster Disk or Clusdisk device and the Cluster service.
To do so, follow the procedure outlined in steps 1a or 1b, depending on your operating system,
except:
a. In Devices, change the Startup value for the Cluster Disk device (in Windows NT 4.0
Server) or Clusdisk device (in Windows 2000 Server or in Windows Server 2003) to
System.
b. In Services, change the Startup value for the Cluster Server service to Automatic.
9. Restart node 1, but do not let Windows start on the first node. To stop Windows from loading:
a. For Windows NT 4.0 Server, at the OS Loader menu, press SPACEBAR to pause the
startup. When you pause the startup, you prevent Windows NT from loading.
b. For Windows 2000 Server, when the computer first starts and you see the For
troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8
message at the bottom of the screen, press F8 to pause the computer.
c. For Windows Server 2003, press F8 when the Power On Self Test (POST) is complete.
10. On node 2, let the operating system start. To do so, follow the steps as appropriate for your
operating system:
For Windows NT 4.0 Server, press SPACEBAR.
For Windows 2000 Server, use the arrow keys to select Boot Normally, and then press
ENTER.
For Windows Server 2003, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, press
ENTER, use the arrow keys to select the operating system, and then press ENTER.
11. On node 2, use Disk Administrator or the Computer Management tool (depending on your
operating system) to assign drive letters to the new disks that are available on the shared SCSI
bus. Make sure that when you assign drive letters to the disks on the shared SCSI bus, you use
the same letter assignments as on the first node (created in step 7).
12. Restore the original startup values for the Cluster Disk or Clusdisk device and the Cluster service.
To do so, follow the steps discussed in steps 1a or 1b, depending on your operating system,

Server) or Clusdisk device (in Windows 2000 Server or in Windows Server 2003) to
System.
b. In Services, change the Startup value for the Cluster Server service to Automatic.
13. Restart node 2 and let the computer completely restart.
14. Use the Cluster Administrator tool to create a physical disk resource for each new disk, and then
bring the disks online.
15. If there are errors, check the SCSI cabling, termination and SCSI ID assignment for correct
configuration. For additional information about cluster disk and drive connection issues, visit the
following Microsoft Web site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757627.aspx

16. If there are no errors, let the operating system start on node 1. To do so, follow the steps as
appropriate for your operating system:
For Windows NT 4.0 Server, press SPACEBAR.
For Windows 2000 Server, use the arrow keys to select Boot Normally, and then press
ENTER.
For Windows Server 2003, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, press
ENTER, use the arrow keys to select the operating system, and then press ENTER.
17. When the node comes online and appears so in Cluster Administrator, try to move the group to
the node. To do so, right-click the group, and then select the option Move. The group and all of
its resources move to another node. Test to verify that you can go online on each node.
