Note

The node on which you are running the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool must be explic-

itly added as a cluster member; the node is not automatically added to the cluster

conﬁguration as a result of running the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool.

4. Optionally, at the Quorum Votes text box, you can specify a value; however in most

conﬁgurations you can leave it blank. Leaving the Quorum Votes text box blank

causes the quorum votes value for that node to be set to the default value of 1.

5. If the cluster is a GULM cluster and you want this node to be a GULM lock server,

click the GULM Lockserver checkbox (marking it as checked).

6. Click OK.

7. Conﬁgure fencing for the node:

a. Click the node that you added in the previous step.

b. At the bottom of the right frame (below Properties), click Manage Fencing

For This Node. Clicking Manage Fencing For This Node causes the Fence

Conﬁguration dialog box to be displayed.

c. At the Fence Conﬁguration dialog box, bottom of the right frame (below

Properties), click Add a New Fence Level. Clicking Add a New Fence Level

causes a fence-level element (for example, Fence-Level-1, Fence-Level-2, and

so on) to be displayed below the node in the left frame of the Fence Conﬁgu-

ration dialog box.

d. Click the fence-level element.

e. At the bottom of the right frame (below Properties), click Add a New Fence

to this Level. Clicking Add a New Fence to this Level causes the Fence

Properties dialog box to be displayed.

f. At the Fence Properties dialog box, click the Fence Device Type drop-down

box and select the fence device for this node. Also, provide additional infor-

mation required (for example, Port and Switch for an APC Power Device).

g. At the Fence Properties dialog box, click OK. Clicking OK causes a fence

device element to be displayed below the fence-level element.

h. To create additional fence devices at this fence level, return to step 6d. Other-

wise, proceed to the next step.

i. To create additional fence levels, return to step 6c. Otherwise, proceed to the

next step.

j. If you have conﬁgured all the fence levels and fence devices for this node, click

Close.
