Configure the Wide-Area Connector process only if you are configuring a disaster recovery environment. The GCO option configures the wide-area connector (WAC) process for global clusters. The WAC process is required for inter-cluster communication. Configure the GCO Option using this wizard only if you are configuring a Disaster Recovery (DR) environment and are not using the Disaster Recovery wizard.
You can configure the GCO Option using the DR wizard. The Disaster Recovery chapters in the application solutions guides discuss how to use the Disaster Recovery wizard to configure the GCO option.
To configure the wide-area connector process for global clusters
If the cluster has a ClusterService group configured, you can use the IP address configured in the service group or configure a new IP address.
Do the following:
To specify an existing IP address, select Use existing IP resource and then select the IP address from the drop-down list.
To use a new IP address, do the following:
In case of IPv4, select IPV4 and then enter the IP address and associated subnet mask. Make sure that the specified IP address has a DNS entry.
In case of IPv6, select IPV6 and select the IPv6 network from the drop-down list.
The wizard uses the network prefix and automatically generates a unique IPv6 address that is valid on the network.
The IPv6 option is disabled if the network does not support IPv6.
Select a network adapter for each node in the cluster.
The wizard lists the public network adapters along with the adapters that were assigned a low priority.
