Creating IOA cluster and IOA interface in the Local Node

To create an IOA cluster and IOA interface in the local node, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# config t
Step 2
Switch(config)# ioa cluster cluster
name
Step 3
Switch(config-ioa-cl)# node switch-
name/ip addres ip-adderss 10.1.1.1
Step 4
Switch(config-ioa-cl-node)# int ioa

To configure an IOA cluster, you can use the name of the switch if the network supports DNS service.
The IOA cluster requires switch name to IP address resolution.

Verifying Cluster Configuration

To verify the cluster configuration, use the show ioa cluster name node summary command.
sw-231-14# sh ioa cluster
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sw-231-14(L)
To verify the IP address of the node, use the show ioa cluster <name> node command.
sw-231-14# show ioa cluster
Node sw-231-14 is local switch
Node ID is 1
IP address is 10.1.1.1
Status is online
Belongs to Site site2
Node is the master switch

Adding a Remote Node and IOA Interface to the Remote Node

To add a remote node, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# config t
Step 2
Swtich(config)# ioa cluster cluster
name
Step 3
Switch(config-ioa-cl)# node
<switchname/ip address> ip-address
10.1.1.2
Step 4
Switch(config-ioa-cl-node)# int ioa
