NOTE: If no value is specified for the optional ha-name parameter, the ha create command promotes the primary
node hostname to be the HA system name.
ha create peer mysystem-p1.emc.com
This command:
● Reboots both nodes, and completes the HA pairing when the nodes come back online.
● Assigns node 0 the local hostname <HA-system-name>-p0.
● Assigns node 1 the local hostname <HA-system-name>-p1.
7. When both nodes are up, verify the following information matches on both nodes:
● Hardware model
● Software version
8. Check the system for alerts.
Run the following command: alerts show current
If the system displays System is misconfigured, the SSDs were not removed from the front of the primary node. Run
the enclosure show misconfiguration command to get more details.
