Configuring a High Availability Cluster
159 IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide
The following storage router configuration settings are shared cluster-wide, and
when configured on the first storage router in the cluster, will be shared with the
other storage router that joins the cluster.
■ Access lists
■ Cluster name
■ SCSI routing instances
■ VLAN information (VID, VTP mode, domain name, and so on)
Note: A minimally configured storage router is one in which the management IP
address, system name, and optional network management interfaces have been
configured. Other system information, such as HA IP address, administrator and
monitor passwords, may also have been configured. A minimally configured storage
router, however, must not have had any cluster-wide settings configured.
Adding an Unconfigured Storage Router
To add a new, unconfigured storage router to an existing cluster:
1. Respond to the prompts from the storage router initial system configuration
script. This script configures the following settings:
■ Management IP address
■ System name
■ HA configuration mode
■ Cluster name
■ HA IP address
When prompted to select HA configuration mode, choose clustered. When
prompted for cluster name, enter the name of the existing cluster. At the end
of the initial system configuration script, the storage router automatically
reboots.
2. When the storage router restarts, it communicates with the other member of
the cluster to obtain current cluster configuration information. Once the
storage router is completely restarted, verify the new cluster configuration.
Issue the show cluster command to verify the cluster name and confirm
that the storage router is exchanging heartbeats with the other member of the
cluster.
