Preparing to Create a Cluster
Installing Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0
After you set up cluster hardware and install clustering software, you can proceed with installing
Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0. The requirements for configuring and partitioning cluster nodes
slightly differ from those for standalone servers. Use the guidelines below when installing Parallels
Server Bare Metal on servers you plan to join to the cluster.
Follow the standard installation instructions until you are asked to partition your server hard disk
drives. Use these guidelines:
• Choose to manually partition the disk drives.
• Create the root (/), swap, and /boot partitions.
• Do not create the /vz partition. All nodes in the cluster will use the /vz partition located on a
shared data storage (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or NFS) and be mounted to them.
Once you install Parallels Server Bare Metal, you are highly recommend to update your software to
the latest version. For example, you can do this using the vzup2date utility.
