1. About this Manual
This manual mainly describes the steps for Configuring server cluster.
1.1 Target Audience

This manual addresses Operations engineers who are required to perform the task of
configuring and installing of the server cluster.

2. System Requirements
This chapter describes Software, Hardware and Network requirements that are required
for configuring the cluster.
2.1 Software Requirements

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2003
Datacenter Edition installed on all computers in the cluster
• A name resolution method such as Domain Name System (DNS), DNS dynamic
update protocol, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), HOSTS, and so on
• An existing domain model

• All nodes must be members of the same domain
• A domain-level account that is a member of the local administrators group on

each node. A dedicated account is recommended
• Multi-path software must be installed on both the servers (Multi-path software CD

is available in MSA package). Multi-path software is required for establishing
communication between MSA and Servers
2.2 Hardware Requirements

• Two mass storage device controllers—Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
or Fibre Channel. A local system disk for the operating system (OS) to be
installed on one controller. A separate peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
storage controller for the shared disks
• Two PCI network adapters on each node in the cluster
• Storage cables to attach the shared storage device to all computers. Refer to the
manufacturers instructions for configuring storage devices. See the appendix that
accompanies this article for additional information on specific configuration needs
when using SCSI or Fibre Channel
• All hardware should be identical, slot for slot, card for card, BIOS, firmware
revisions, and so on, for all nodes. This makes configuration easier and
eliminates compatibility problems
2.3 Network Requirements

• Static IP addresses for all network interfaces on each node
Note: Server Clustering does not support the use of IP addresses assigned from

System Requirements
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers.
• Access to a domain controller. If the cluster service is unable to authenticate the

user account used to start the service, it could cause the cluster to fail. It is
recommended that you have a domain controller on the same local area network
(LAN) as the cluster is on to ensure availability.
• Each node must have at least two network adapters—one for connection to the
client public network and the other for the node-to-node private cluster network.
A dedicated private network adapter is required for HCL certification.
• All nodes must have two physically independent LANs or virtual LANs for public
and private communication.
• If you are using fault-tolerant network cards or network adapter teaming, verify
that you are using the most recent firmware and drivers. Check with your network
adapter manufacturer for cluster compatibility.
2.3.1.1 Shared Disk Requirements:

• An external disk storage unit connected to all computers. This will be used as the
clustered shared disk. Some type of a hardware redundant array of independent
disks (RAID) is recommended.
• All shared disks, including the quorum disk, must be physically attached to a
shared bus.
• Shared disks must be on a different controller then the one used by the system
drive.
• Creating multiple logical drives at the hardware level in the RAID configuration is
recommended rather than using a single logical disk that is then divided into
multiple partitions at the operating system level. This is different from the
configuration commonly used for stand-alone servers. However, it enables you to
have multiple disk resources and to do Active/Active configurations and manual
load balancing across the nodes in the cluster.
• A dedicated disk with a minimum size of 50 megabytes (MB) to use as the

quorum device. A partition of at least 500 MB is recommended for optimal NTFS
file system performance.
• Verify that disks attached to the shared bus can be seen from all nodes. This can
be checked at the host adapter setup level. Refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation for adapter-specific instructions.
• SCSI devices must be assigned unique SCSI identification numbers and properly
terminated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See the appendix with
this article for information on installing and terminating SCSI devices
• All shared disks must be configured as BASIC disks

• Software fault tolerance is not natively supported on cluster shared disks

System Requirements
• All shared disks must be configured as master boot record (MBR) disks on
systems running the 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003
• All partitions on the clustered disks must be formatted as NTFS
• Hardware fault-tolerant RAID configurations are recommended for all disks
• A minimum of two logical shared drives is recommended.

3. Network Configuration
3.1 General Network Configuration

This guide assumes that you are running the default Start menu. The steps
may be slightly different if you are running the Classic Start menu. Also, which
network adapter is private and which is public depends upon your wiring. For
Note: the purposes of this white paper, the first network adapter (Local Area
Connection) is connected to the public network, and the second network
adapter (Local Area Connection 2) is connected to the private cluster network.
Your network may be different.
3.2 To rename the local area network icons

It is recommended that you change the names of the network connections for clarity. For
example, you might want to change the name of Local Area Connection 2 to something
like Private. Renaming will help you identify a network and correctly assign its role.
1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, right-click Network Connections, and then click
Open
2. Right-click the Local Area Connection 2 icon.

3. Click Rename.
4. Type Private in the textbox, and then press ENTER.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3, and then rename the public network adapter as Public.
6. An illustration is displayed as shown below.

Network Configuration
Figure 3-1: Server Clustering: Rename network icons

7. The renamed icons should look like those in Figure 2 above. Close the Network
Connections window. The new connection names will appear in Cluster
Administrator and automatically replicate to all other cluster nodes as they are
brought online.
3.3 To configure the binding order networks on

all nodes
1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, right-click Network Connections, and then click
Open
2. On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.
3. In the Connections box, make sure that your bindings are in the following order, and
then click OK:
a. Public
b. Private
c. Remote Access Connections
3.4 Configuring the Private Network Adapter

1. Right-click the network connection for your private adapter, and then click
Properties.

2. On the General tab, make sure that only the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box is
selected, as shown in Figure 3 below. Click to clear the check boxes for all other
clients, services, and protocols.
Figure 3-2: Server Clustering: Network properties

3. Click on Properties button.
4. This displays the private properties dialog box as shown below.

Figure 3-3: Server Clustering: Private properties dialog box

5. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
6. On the General tab, verify that you have selected a static IP address that is not on
the same subnet or network as any other public network adapter. It is recommended
that you put the private network adapter in one of the following private network
ranges:
• 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 (Class A)

• 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 (Class B)
• 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 (Class C)
7. An example of a good IP address to use for the private adapters is 10.10.10.10 on

node 1 and 10.10.10.11 on node 2 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, as shown in
Figure 5 below. Be sure that this is a completely different IP address scheme then
the one used for the public network.

Figure 3-4: Server Clustering: IP properties dialog box

8. Verify that there are no values defined in the Default Gateway box or under Use the
Following DNS server addresses.
9. Click the Advanced button.
10. On the DNS tab, verify that no values are defined. Make sure that the Register this
connection's addresses in DNS and Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS
registration check boxes are cleared.
11. On the WINS tab, verify that there are no values defined. Click Disable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP as shown in Figure below.

Figure 3-5: Server Clustering: Advanced settings dialog box

12. Click on OK.
13. When you close the dialog box, you may receive the following prompt: “This
connection has an empty primary WINS address. Do you want to continue?” If you
receive this prompt, click Yes
14. In Figure 2-3, Click on Configure
15. If you have a network adapter that is capable of transmitting at multiple speeds, you
should manually specify a speed and duplex mode. Do not use an auto-select
setting for speed, because some adapters may drop packets while determining the
speed. The speed for the network adapters must be hard set (manually set) to be
the same on all nodes according to the card manufacturer's specification. If you are
not sure of the supported speed of your card and connecting devices, Microsoft
recommends you set all devices on that path to 10 megabytes per second (Mbps)
and Half Duplex, as shown in Figure below.

Figure 3-6: Server Clustering: Adapter properties dialog box

16. Click on Advanced tab.
17. The following dialog box is displayed.

18. Select Speed & Duplex property in the text box as shown below.

Figure 3-8: Server Clustering: Advanced tab

19. Select ‘10Mb Half’ from the value drop down list.
20. Click on OK.
3.5 Configuring the Public Network Adapter

If IP addresses are obtained via DHCP, access to cluster nodes may be
unavailable if the DHCP server is inaccessible. For this reason, static IP
addresses are required for all interfaces on a server cluster. Keep in mind that
Note:
cluster service will only recognize one network interface per subnet. If you
need assistance with TCP/IP addressing in Windows Server 2003, please see
the Online Help.

4.4 Verifying Domain Membership

All nodes in the cluster must be members of the same domain and be able to access a
domain controller and a DNS server. They can be configured as member servers or
domain controllers. You should have at least one domain controller on the same network
segment as the cluster. For high availability another domain controller should also be
available to remove a single point of failure. In this guide, all nodes are configured as
member servers.
If one cluster node in a two-node cluster is a domain controller, the other node must be a
domain controller
If the cluster nodes are the only domain controllers, then each must be a DNS server as
well. They should point to each other for primary DNS resolution and to themselves for
secondary resolution.
The first domain controller in the forest/domain will take on all Operations Master Roles.
You can redistribute these roles to any node. However, if a node fails, the Operations
Master Roles assumed by that node will be unavailable. Therefore, it is recommended
that you do not run Operations Master Roles on any cluster node. This includes Scheme
Master, Domain Naming Master, Relative ID Master, PDC Emulator, and Infrastructure
Master. These functions cannot be clustered for high availability with failover.
Enter the look up command in the terminal and this displays the configured system as
shown below.

5.3.3.1 Heartbeat Adapter Prioritization

After configuring the role of how the cluster service will use the network adapters, the
next step is to prioritize the order in which they will be used for intra-cluster
communication. This is applicable only if two or more networks were configured for node-
to-node communication. Priority arrows on the right side of the screen specify the order in
which the cluster service will use the network adapters for communication between
nodes. The cluster service always attempts to use the first network adapter listed for
remote procedure call (RPC) communication between the nodes. Cluster service uses
the next network adapter in the list only if it cannot communicate by using the first
network adapter.
1. Start Cluster Administrator.

2. In the left pane, right-click the cluster name (in the upper left corner), and then click
Properties.
3. Click the Network Priority tab, as shown in Figure below.

buttons to change the priority order.
5. Click OK.
5.3.3.2 Configuring Cluster Disks

■ Start Cluster Administrator, right-click any disks that you want to remove from the
cluster, and then click Delete.
By default, all disks not residing on the same bus as the system disk will have
Physical Disk Resources created for them, and will be clustered. Therefore, if
the node has multiple buses, some disks may be listed that will not be used as
shared storage, for example, an internal SCSI drive. Such disks should be
Note:
removed from the cluster configuration. If you plan to implement Volume Mount
points for some disks, you may want to delete the current disk resources for
those disks, delete the drive letters, and then create a new disk resource
without a drive letter assignment.

Configuring Cluster
5.3.4 Quorum Disk Configuration

The Cluster Configuration Wizard automatically selects the drive that is to be used as the
quorum device. It will use the smallest partition that is larger then 50 MB. You may want
to change the automatically selected disk to a dedicated disk that you have designated
for use as the quorum.
5.3.4.1 Configuring the quorum disk

1. Start Cluster Administrator (CluAdmin.exe).
2. Right-click the cluster name in the upper-left corner and then Click Properties.
3. Click the Quorum tab.
4. In the Quorum resource list box, select a different disk resource. In the Figure below,
Disk Q is selected in the Quorum resource list box.

5. If the disk has more than one partition, click the partition where you want the cluster-
specific data to be kept, and then click OK.

Configuring Cluster
5.3.4.2 Creating a Boot Delay

In a situation where all the cluster nodes boot up and attempt to attach to the quorum
resource at the same time, the Cluster service may fail to start. For example, this may
occur when power is restored to all nodes at the exact same time after a power failure.
To avoid such a situation, increase or decrease the Time to Display list of operating
systems setting. To find this setting, click Start, point to My Computer, right-click My
Computer, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings
under Startup And Recovery.
5.3.4.3 To verify that resources will failover

1. Both the Nodes and Storage devices should be powered ON.
2. In Node 1 click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click
Cluster Administrator, as shown in Figure 26 below.
3. Right-click the Disk Group 1 group, and then click Move Group. The group and all its
resources will be moved to another node. After a short period of time, the Disk F: G:
will be brought online on the second node. Watch the window to see this shift. Quit
Cluster Administrator.
4. Congratulations! You have completed the configuration of the cluster service on all
nodes. The server cluster is fully operational. You are now ready to install cluster
resources such as file shares, printer spoolers, cluster aware services like
Distributed Transaction Coordinator, DHCP, WINS, or cluster-aware programs such
as Exchange Server or SQL Server.

Note: Note that you must NOT run SAPDB server installer on Node 2
1. Copy C:\sapdb\prog from node 1 to node 2.
2. Add Z:\sapdb\depend\bin;c:\sapdb\prog\bin;c:\sapdb\prog\pgm to the PATH

environment variable.
3. Copy the C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services from Node 1 to Node 2.This

copies the sapdb specific entries in the file to Node 2. Copy the sapdb cluster
resource dlls and SAPDBMSCSMan.exe from c:\WINNT\cluster Node1 to Node2.
4. From a command window execute (ignore cannot find installation warning).
dbmcli -s dbm_setpath indepprogpath c:\sapdb\prog

dbmcli -s dbm_setpath indepdatapath z:\sapdb\data
x_server install
5. Register the libraries


6. Make Node 2 the owner of the "SAPDBTech" cluster resource group. To do this right
click on Node 1 in cluster administrator and "pause node". Then right click on "SAP
DBTech" and "move group".
7. From a command window execute.
• For Ozone Installation
x_server start
dbmcli -R Z:\sapdb\depend inst_reg
dbmcli -R Z:\sapdb\depend db_create MMP onmobile,onmobile
dbmcli -R Z:\sapdb\depend db_create OZONE onmobile,onmobile
8. Open the cluster administrator. Delete any resources in the "SAPDBTech" group
starting with _ (underscore).Bring All resources in sapdbtech group online on
node2.Use the cluster administrator to resume Node 1.
9. With the db running on Node 2 run this command from a command window (This
registers DCOM libraries).
xregcomp Z:\sapdb\depend\pgm\dbpinstall
10. Open cluster administrator, right click on sap dbtech group and add a new resource
of type "Network Name", name "Sap DBTech-HostName" ,click next; on the page for
possible owners, set both nodes (NODE1 & NODE2) as owners; on the
dependencies page add resource dependency "SAP DBTechIP-Address". Specify a
name such as "dbserver". Bring this resource online.
11. On both dbservers and all clients in the hosts file (C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\host)
add an entry for SapdbTechIP-HostName v/s SapdbTechIP Address.(substituting
appropriate values for both). In this example SapdbTechIP-Hostname is 'dbserver'
and SapdbTechIP Address is '192.168.21.90'.
8.5 Operational Considerations

• SAPDB / XServer services must be in manual mode on both nodes. It will be
automatically started by cluster service.
• All SQL client must use the database clustered ip for connections (in the example
above:192.168.21.90).
• If maintenance needs to be carried out on a single server the ownership of the

"SAPDBTech" cluster resources can be moved to the other node using cluster
administrator.
• The other node will automatically takeover and bring up the database in case of
hardware/software failures on the database node.
• From the perspective of clients any switchover appears as if the database has
gone down (normally or abnormally) and has come back up.
• Switchover takes 30 seconds to 1 minute

9. Ozone High Availability Installation in
MSA
9.1 Ozone installation

1. Install ozone to z:\ozone (where z:\ is the disk resource for the SAPDB High
Availability Installation.).
2. All O3 Environment Variables must use the floating DB hostname. (i.e. the "sapdb
tech-hostname" of the SapdbTech Cluster Group).
3. Use the SapDbTech-hostname Address for all ozone environment variables

referring to db and shared folder.Also the CONFIG_SOURCE in the environment
table of the ozone database must specify the \\sapdbtechhostname\ozonecfg
4. The following environment variables must be set on both db servers:
• O3_LOCAL_IP – Floating db ip (sapdbtech-ip)
• O3_LOCAL_HOSTNAME –Floating sapdb hostname (sapdbtech-hostname)
5. Copy contents of z:\ozone\bin\win32\cluster to c:\WINNT\cluster on both servers.
6. Install the "Host Management Agent" service on both database servers. (To do this
you have to move the sapdb tech group between DB servers using cluster
administrator and run z:\O3HostMgr -i on each server)
7. On both servers keep the "Host Management Agent" service, into manual
mode.(Cluster service will take care of starting it)
8. Register the ozone cluster resource dlls on both machines by running

c:\WINNT\cluster\registerozonecluster.bat.
9. If this fails you may need to manually run the commands:
cluster resourcetype "Ozone Host Management Agent" /create

/dllname:ozoneclus.dll
RegClAdm ozoneclusEx.dll /Cyourclustername
10. On all servers (Two db and all telephony servers) in the host file
(C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\host) make entries for all other servers.Make an
additional entry for the sapdbtech-hostname with the sapdbtech-Ip address.
11. All dburls in the system should be ozone style dburls.(mmp or mmpapps)
12. The config file for the clustered servers will be called "sapdbtech-hostname".xml.
(Substitite the value of "sapdbtech-hostname")
13. For windows 2003 the SNMP Agent needs to be manually configured. Go to the
services panel right click on "SNMP Service" and go to properties. On the security
tab Add the accepted community names "public" (READ ONLY).Select "Accept

Ozone High Availability Installation in MSA
SNMP packets from any host". This required by the ozone O3Sysmon process.(Do
this on both servers)
14. Internet Explorer is deployed in a high security mode, on windows 2003.The ozone
gui may not display/work correctly. It is recommended that firefox be installed and
used.
9.2 Cluster configuration

1. Open the cluster Administrator.
2. Right click on the SapdbTech group and add a new Resource of type "Ozone Host
Management Agent". **Specify a name "Host Management Agent".
• Select "run this resource in a seperate resource monitor" and click next.Click
next on the next window also.(i.e. leave both servers as possible resource
owners)
• In the dependencies select the "Disk Z:" resource and the "SapdbTech IP
Address" resource.
Figure 9-1: Server clustering: Adding host management agent resource

Figure 9-2: Server clustering: Adding dependencies for the resource

3. Right click on the SapdbTech group and add a new Resource of type "File Share"
4. Specify a name "ozonecfg"

5. Click next. Click next on the next window also.(i.e. leave both servers as possible
resource owners)
6. In the dependencies select the "Disk Z:" resource. Click Next

7. Set share name as "ozonecfg" and path as "z:\ozone\bin\cfg\ozonecfg"
8. Go to the parameters for the resource and grant full permissions.

Figure 9-3: Server clustering: Adding ozonecfg
Figure 9-4: Server clustering: Adding dependencies

Figure 9-5: Server clustering: File sharing parameters

9. Right click on the SapdbTech group and add a new Resource of type "File Share".
10. Specify a name "xdrive"

11. Click next. Click next on the next window also.(i.e. leave both servers as possible
resource owners)
12. In the dependencies select the "Disk Z:" resource. Click Next
13. Set share name as "xdrive" and path as "z:\onmobile\xdrive"
14. On all servers map \\sapdbtech-ip\xdrive as x: (bring the xdrive resourcce online
before mapping)
15. Go to the parameters for the resource and grant full permissions
16. Setup IIS ftp servers on both db servers, with z:\onmobile\xdrive as ftp home (make
sure that they have the SAME username/password)
17. Right click on the SapdbTech group and add a new Resource of type "IIS".(setup for
FTP and additionally for Web if required.)
This does NOT work on windows 2003.These are the steps for 2003
• Right-click the cluster group and select New, Resource.
• Enter a name "IIS" and description for the resource,
Note: • For the resource type, select Generic Script. Click Next.
• The screen will display a list of possible owners. Click Next.
• Next, configure the dependencies for the IIS resource, Sapdb Tech-IP and
Disk z:. Click Next.

• Next, you're prompted for the script name.

• For an FTP IIS resource, use the C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\clusftp.vbs
script.
• If required for a Web IIS resource, use the
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\clusweb.vbs script.
• Click Finish, then click OK in the confirmation dialog box that appears after
you create the new resource.
18. The final Sapdbtech group should look like the one in the image below
Figure 9-6: Server clustering: Newly created resources
9.3 Operational Considerations

• All configuration in the system must use the sapdbtech-hostname only to refer to
the db server
• The "Host Managment Agent" service is integrated with microsoft cluster server
to be started in the case of server startup or failover. It can also be taken offline
(along with all ozone processes) from the cluster administrator.
• The ozone gui will show a virtual hostname for the cluster servers, irrespective of
which db server ozone processes are actually up on.
• Stopping the "Host Managment Agent" service from service control panel is ok
for maintenance/management purposes. However start it manually only if you
stopped it manually or used the "Stop all" task from the ozone gui.
• The "Reboot Server"/"Shutdown Server" tasks on the ozone gui will result in the
sapdbtech group of resources moving to the cluster standby server (if

running)."Stop All" task will result in no Agent/Ozone processes running on both

servers.(databases are unaffected)
