Enrollment in Windows Cluster Services Environment : (Step 1) Prepare the cluster nodes

(Step 1) Prepare the cluster nodes
To install the cluster modules (Windows 2012 & 2012R2):
If your PNs (aka cluster nodes) are running Win2k12 or Win2k12R2, you must perform the following procedure on those PNs prior to protecting the onQ. If you don’t, the corresponding RNs will not work.
1.
2.
Both the Failover Cluster Automation Server module and the Failover Cluster Command Interface module must be installed on each PN (cluster node).
a.
> PS C:\Users\administrator> Get-WindowsFeature RSAT-Cluster*
b.
Add the Failover Cluster Automation Server module:
> Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Clustering-AutomationServer
c.
Add the Failover Cluster Command Interface module:
> Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Clustering-CmdInterface
3.
> import-module failoverclusters
4.
> Get-WindowsFeature RSAT-Cluster*
Next Step: Go to (Step 2) Install onQ Service on cluster.
To install the iSCSI initiator (Windows 2003)
Microsoft iSCSI initiator must be installed on the PN, if not installed already. Installation is required on Windows 2003. The iSCSI initiator is preinstalled on the following Windows versions:

Once installed on the protected node, the initiator will become available in the Recovery Node and will be used for configuration of Virtual SAN connectivity when Recovery Node is started in either Test Mode or in Production Mode.
Go to http://www.quorum.net/file_share/Initiator.zip. The Initiator.zip file contains following versions of initiators. Install the appropriate version on the cluster node.
