Configuring global clusters

You can configure global clusters to link clusters at separate locations and enable wide-area failover and disaster recovery. The installer adds basic global cluster information to the VCS configuration file. You must perform additional configuration tasks to set up a global cluster.

See the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for instructions to set up VCS global clusters.

Note:

If you installed a HA/DR license to set up replicated data cluster or campus cluster, skip this installer option.

To configure the global cluster option

  1. Review the required information to configure the global cluster option.
  2. Specify whether you want to configure the global cluster option.

    If you skip this option, the installer proceeds to configure VCS based on the configuration details you provided.

  3. Provide information to configure this cluster as global cluster.

    The installer prompts you for a NIC, a virtual IP address, and value for the netmask.

    You can also enter an IPv6 address as a virtual IP address.
