62 Configuring Your System and Network
Defining the Cluster Name
Note This section applies only if you have purchased a high-
availability NAS solution.
Before you proceed, you must stop the clustering services to edit the
information.
The cluster name identifies your cluster on your network. It is a text string that
is limited to 40 characters and cannot contain spaces, forward slash (/),
backslashes (\), or asterisks (*).
To name a cluster:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to High Availability, then select Cluster
Properties.
3 Select Actions > Edit Cluster Name.
4 In the Cluster Name field, type a name for the cluster.
5 Click OK.
Defining the Quorum Server
Note This section applies only if you have purchased a high-
availability NAS solution.
Before you proceed, you must stop the clustering services to edit the
information.
Enter the name (up to 32 characters) or IP address of the host system that is
acting as the Quorum server for the cluster. A Quorum server is a failover
mechanism that acts as a cluster arbitrator between the NAS servers in your
cluster. It prevents the formation of multiple clusters that aren't aware of one
another but are accessing the same storage. It is not a physical part of the
cluster.
To define a Quorum server:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to High Availability, then select Cluster
Properties.
3 Select Actions > Edit Quorum Server Name.
