# Completing the failover environment installation

Configuring the arrays and logical drives | Completing the installation

To complete the installation of the failover environment, install the appropriate ServeRAID device drivers to a system already running Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 or while installing Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0. Refer to the following:

- The documentation that came with the Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 software
- The ServeRAID device driver installation instructions on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD

To verify that the configuration is correct, install and start the ServeRAID Manager on the Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 server.

| If your failover pair is correctly configured, the ServeRAID Manager tree will designate the controllers as active and passive.

For troubleshooting in a failover environment, refer to "Solving problems in a failover environment" in the IBM ServeRAID-4 Ultra160 SCSI Controller User's Reference.
