# Setting up a Cyberark HA Vault Cluster - Part 2

## 1. Preinstalation tasks

This time we'll be connecting our Quorum and Shared Storage disks to our Vault 1 

Let's check the Network configuration for Vault 1. Let's make sure we have 2 IPs configured as shown.

Start the iSCSI Disk Initiator, we can start the console by running **iscsicpl.exe**. Here we need to "Discover" a portal so after hitting the Discovery Portal button, we need to provide IP 10.200.10.10 and port 3260. The targets will show as inactive at first.

Two targets will show in the Discovered Targets tab, those are Shared Storage (safes) and Quorum disks still incative. Our Vault_1 host is not yet connected to the targets

Select first target and click on Connect >> Check the "Add this connection to list of favorite Targets" >> Click on advanced :

- Local Adpater: Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
- Initiator IP: 10.200.10.11 # This is our Vault_1 IP
- Tartet portal IP: 10.200.10.10/3260 # This is our ADCore server IP and iSCSI port

Remember from the last post our connection is IP based. We're not using chap connection this time.

If we check the disk status @ADCore, it shows as connected

Until this point. we have connected the disk but it need to be initializaed so on Vault_1 go to Disk Manager. Check Disk Status and bring it online
{{< image src="images/img10.webp" caption="Vault_1 Disks manager"  >}}

Initialize it
{{< image src="images/img11.webp" caption="Vault_1 Disks manager - disk online"  >}}

Disk turns blue and waiting for data :whale:

Now, we need to do the same for the Quorum disk.

In the next post we'll be installing the Cyberark Cluster-Node Vault.
