Table 36 Cluster Status Descriptions (Continued)

Cluster Setup

Before you begin, review this checklist to ensure you are prepared to set up a cluster:
You have two servers available.

Each server is powered up and connected to the same local area network.

Each server has a unique hostname.

Each server has a valid subscription ID and has been updated using the Plugin Manager. Ensure that the

High Availability Services plugin has been installed along with any available plugin updates.
You are logged in as the administrator on each server.

You have determined the desired network configuration (virtual IP address) for the cluster.

Click the Create New Cluster command link on the Administrator > High Availability > Cluster
Configuration page to begin the process of creating a new cluster.
