To obtain and install the update: 1. Use the following command to download the CLUSFIXI.EXE update program from the Microsoft server: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/use/nt40/ hotfixes-postSP3/roll-up/CLUSTER/. 2. Create a temporary directory on the startup (boot) hard disk drive in each cluster node. 3. Copy the CLUSFIXI.EXE update program to the temporary directory on each cluster node. 4. Run the CLUSFIXI.EXE program on the first node. This automatically updates and then restarts the node. 5. Wait until the first node restarts and rejoins the cluster; then, continue with Step 6. 6. Run the CLUSFIXI.EXE program on the second node. Again, this automatically updates and then restarts the node. Once the second node rejoins the cluster, the update installation is complete. _____________________________________________________________________ 4.0 Trademarks and Notices _________________________ The following terms are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: IBM Netfinity ServeRAID Microsoft, Windows, and Windows NT are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
