The Global Cluster option is required to manage global clustering for wide-area disaster recovery. The process of creating a global cluster environment involves the following tasks:

• Connecting standalone clusters by adding a remote cluster to a local cluster

• Converting the local service group that is common to all the clusters to a global service group

Use the VCS Java Console and perform the following global cluster operations:

• See Linking clusters: Adding a remote cluster to a local cluster.

• See Converting a local service group to a global service group.

• See Bringing a global service group online.
