Adding Completely Configured Storage Routers
You may prefer to completely configure both storage routers (including SCSI
routing instances and access lists) as standalone systems before joining them into
a cluster.
The following example explains the steps required to create a cluster named
Cluster1, composed of two storage routers named StorageRouterSys1 and
StorageRouterSys2. This example assumes that both storage routers are fully
configured with SCSI routing instances and access lists. (See
for details.) Use the scsirouter primary
command to assign a preferred storage router to any or all of the SCSI routing
instances, if desired.
Note:
A cluster supports up to 12 active SCSI routing instances.
To create a cluster from fully configured storage routers:
1. Use the setup cluster configuration wizard to define StorageRouterSys1 as a
member of the cluster Cluster1. When prompted, enter retain to keep the
access list and SCSI routing instance information already defined.
2. Use the show cluster command to verify the cluster name after
StorageRouterSys1 reboots. Verify that all instances and access lists are still
available, using show scsirouter and show accesslist
commands.
3. On StorageRouterSys2, save any access list information that you want to
make available in the cluster to a file, using the save accesslist
command. (Optional)
For example, to save all access lists to a file named
StorageRouterSys2_AccessLists.xml:
save accesslist all SR2122Sys2_AccessLists.xml
4. Because access lists can only be manipulated from the first storage router in a
cluster, the saved configuration file from StorageRouterSys2 must be made
available to StorageRouterSys1. See
Chapter 12, “Maintaining and Managing
for information on managing storage router saved
configuration files using either the copy savedconfig command or FTP.
