Creating the cluster on blade 1

To create the cluster on blade 1, complete the following steps:
1. On the Form a Cluster — Step 2 dialog box, enter a name for the cluster and specify the IP
address and netmask for the Management Console IP (also called the Cluster Management
IP). This IP address runs on a virtual interface (VIF) assigned to the entire cluster for management
use. Think of it as the "IP address of the cluster." You should connect to this VIF in future GUI
management sessions. The VIF remains highly available.
NOTE:
Also enter the IP addresses and domain for your DNS servers, and the IP addresses for your
NTP servers.
If you are using a 2, 3, or 4 network layout, install this IP on the bond1 network.
