Clustering and fabric zoning

If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software on the servers.
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each server is a
node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following example shows a
multi-cluster environment with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access
to the disk array.
