Guide in your SIM Binder .
After you complete the minimum network configuration on both
of the cluster nodes (servers), you can define the cluster.
Defining the cluster consists of:
specifying cluster nodes and selecting the NICs to be used
I
for cluster heartbeats (see "Entering Node Settings" on
page 61)
naming the cluster (see "Defining the Cluster Name" on
I
page 62)
specifying the Quorum server (see "Defining the Quorum
I
Server" on page 62)
You can perform this configuration from one node. You do not
need to repeat it on the other node. After you apply the cluster
configuration (the last step in defining the cluster), the settings
are automatically mirrored to the other cluster node. (The
Configuration Wizard applies the configuration automatically.
If you are using the Command Line Interface, use the
applyClusterConfiguration command.)
See "Starting and Stopping Clustering Services" on page 64.
