Clustering server connections

You can cluster servers to easily assign multiple server connections to multiple volumes in a single
operation. Cluster existing servers or you can create new servers to add to the server cluster from the
New Server Cluster window. If you cluster servers that already have volumes assigned to them, all
the servers in the cluster gain access to all the volumes, and inherit the access permissions of the
original pair.
All clustered servers must have the same load balancing and volume access permission settings. You
can verify and update these settings when you create the server cluster. For information about volume
access permissions, see
see "iSCSI load

Requirements for clustering servers

• Minimum of two servers for a cluster
• Same load balancing setting for all servers
