5. Add SvSys2 to the new cluster named Cluster1, using the Setup Cluster

Configuration Wizard. When prompted, enter retain to share the existing
SCSI routing instances across the cluster.

6. Use the show cluster command to verify the cluster name after

StorageRouterSys2 reboots. Verify that the defined SCSI routing instances
were retained, using show scsirouter command.

7. Restore any access lists saved in Step 3 using the

restore accesslist from

command. Access lists can only be

manipulated from the first storage router in a cluster, so these commands must
be issued from the system

StorageRouterSys1. (Optional)

8. Save all configuration information on system

StorageRouterSys1 by issuing a

save all bootconfig

command, which updates the bootable

configuration of all storage routers in the cluster. (Optional)

9. Verify that all SCSI routing instances are active using the

show scsirouter stats

command on both storage routers.

Changing Clusters

In some situations, you may need to move the storage router from one cluster to
another cluster. Moving a fully configured storage router from one cluster to
another is more complex than simply adding the storage router to a cluster.
Advanced planning is required.

To successfully move the storage router from one cluster to another:

1. Verify that the storage router to be moved has the same hardware

configuration as the other storage routers in the cluster you are planning to
join. Each storage router in the cluster must have connectivity to the same IP
hosts and Fibre Channel storage. All management interfaces for the storage
routers within a cluster must be on the same IP subnet, and all HA interfaces
for the storage routers within a cluster must be on the same IP subnet.
However, the management interfaces must be on a different IP network than
the HA interfaces.

2. Decide if you need to retain any SCSI routing instances defined on the storage

router joining the cluster. Retaining data means all SCSI routing instances
existing on the storage router joining the cluster will be added to those already
defined for the cluster. If the existing instances are not retained, they are
deleted.
