Configuring High-Availability Settings
Cluster Configuration Overview
Note This section applies only if you have purchased a high-
availability NAS solution.
You must configure your cluster. Follow these steps in order.
Task... Details...
1. Preliminary node configuration See the HP NAS 8000 High-Availability Server Installation
Guide in your SIM Binder .
2. Define the cluster After you complete the minimum network configuration on both
of the cluster nodes (servers), you can define the cluster.
Defining the cluster consists of:
■ specifying cluster nodes and selecting the NICs to be used
for cluster heartbeats (see “Entering Node Settings” on
page 61)
■ naming the cluster (see “Defining the Cluster Name” on
page 62)
■ specifying the Quorum server (see “Defining the Quorum
Server” on page 62)
You can perform this configuration from one node. You do not
need to repeat it on the other node. After you apply the cluster
configuration (the last step in defining the cluster), the settings
are automatically mirrored to the other cluster node. (The
Configuration Wizard applies the configuration automatically.
If you are using the Command Line Interface, use the
applyClusterConfiguration command.)
3. Activate clustering services See “Starting and Stopping Clustering Services” on page 64.
