Building a New Cluster
Building a cluster is a four-step process:
- Assigning an IP address to the command
switch. You can use the setup program or DHCP-based auto-configuration
to do this, or you can do it manually from the console port.
- Connecting the command switch to other switches that run
clustering software.
- Giving a number to the command switch and naming the cluster.
To do this, choose Cluster > Create Cluster and
use the Create Cluster window.
- Adding up to 15 member
switches. To do this, choose Cluster > Add To Cluster
and use the Add To Cluster window.
