Note
For clustering, it is required to have at least two NICs in each server
that is participating in the cluster. One NIC will be used for data
transfer, another one will be used for inter-server communication
(“heartbeating”). It is required that data NICs should be connected to
one subnet while heartbeating NICs should be connected to another
subnet. Do not mix different types of NICs on the same subnet
since it may lead to an improper cluster operation and could
result into an inability to reconfigure your cluster.
Note
Please make sure that all of the appliances participating in cluster
have static IP addresses before setting up clustering. With IP
addresses obtained via DHCP, cluster setup may fail or function
improperly.
To configure cluster
1. Click Storage, located on the main menu.
2. Click Build at the bottom of the screen.
3. Build new cluster window appears.
4. Pick cluster type from appropriate combo box.
5. Pick heartbeating interface from appropriate combo box.
6. Pick other Appliances (also called slave servers or nodes) you would like
to include into cluster from the list. For remote Appliances, use the
Search for Remote… button.
