9 | Cluster initialization
The high availability feature of the Lyve Rack R1 has two servers which run services that implement
the nodes of the cluster.
Lyve Rack R1 cluster initialization is a one-time process of initiating cluster membership by setting up
Management VIP and Data VIP.
•
Management VIP: is the floating IP address where the Management Interface is running.
•
Data VIP: is the floating IP address where the Lyve Rack R1 object store is running. In both
cases, both services shall respond as long as one node of the cluster is functioning.
Note
This process is only required to be completed once.
