Configuring the Cluster

This section describes the procedure to set up a cluster.

Perform the following steps on the node seattle1

1. Create the ASCII cluster template file.
   # cmquerycl -v -C /etc/cmcluster/cluster.ascii -n seattle1 \
   -n seattle2
2. Modify the cluster.ascii file to include your cluster environment details.
3. Verify the cluster configuration.
   # cmcheckconf -v -C /etc/cmcluster/cluster.ascii \
       -n seattle1 -n seattle2
4. Create the cluster by applying the configuration file.
   # cmapplyconf -v -C /etc/cmcluster/cluster.ascii

   This command will create the cmclconfig binary file and distribute it to the nodes seattle1 and seattle2.

5. Start the cluster.
   # cmruncl -v -n seattle1 -n seattle2
6. Check the cluster status.
   # cmviewcl -v
7. Halt and restart the cluster using the following commands, to test whether it works correctly.

   Halt the cluster.

   
   # cmhaltcl -f -v

   Restart the cluster.

   
   # cmruncl -v -n seattle1 -n seattle2
8. Repeat step 1 to step 7 on node london1, replacing the node names seattle1 by london1 and seattle2 by london2.
