Single computer=cluster?
Having played with the Proliant 1600, got it working with Windows98 and XP, sorted out all the hardware, bolted on all the extra goodies and set up the arrays, I decided it was time to turn the 1600 into a 'proper' server. I duly purchased and installed Windows Server2003 (Standard) and apart from the Integrated Netelligent Controller not working, all appeared fine. I downloaded the Netelligent driver for Win2K which states that it works with Server 2K3. Sure enough it does!
So I now have a fully functional Proliant with 2K3 and all the goodies. I then click 'Manage Server', thinking that this might be the obvious step...and get a message saying my server is NOT a server, but rather a node of a clustered array. It then gives me a link to find out more information on server clustering.
Well, I understand the basic idea of clustering and nodes...but how the hell do I tell the OS that this is a 'stand alone' server and not a cluster node. I don't WANT to cluster this computer...I just want it to serve up files to three clients. MS give references to a program called CluAdmin.exe, but I cannot find this program. Also, why did the installation of 2k3 Server mistakenly identify the server as one node in a cluster? I didn't even have any network cables plugged in when I set up the OS, so it's not as if it was connected to or even communicating with anything!!!

Re: Single computer=cluster?
For some odd reason too, the computer by default is set to be part of a workgroup called WORKGROUP. The current computers are on a peer2peer network with a workgroup called HOME, but I haven't even hooked them up to this beast yet.

Re: Single computer=cluster?
Secondly, 2k3 was an upgrade from XP Professional which I already had running on the system, having upgraded from a working copy of Windows 98. As Windows Server only seems to take about 25 minutes to install, I have nothing to lose by completely erasing the system and starting over with SmartStart, so I shall follow your advice and give it a try...heck, what are lunch-hours for, right?!!
I shall report back in due course!
Thanks for the advice Max.

Re: Single computer=cluster?
The reason the first 2 drives have 2 partitions is that the drives in these slots were originally 4.3Gb units. By replacing them one at a time with 9.1's and allowing the array to rebuild itself each time (under XP using the W2K Array Utility). The free space was then turned into another logical drive. I now want to wipe the system and have just the two logical drives...9Gb and 17Gb.
Just out of interest, which SmartStart version originally came with this system, and what are the actual SoftPaqs I need to rebuild this server as it would have been using the SmartStart?
