Use this page to configure optional properties for the
nodes that you selected to include in the new cluster.
A minimum of two nodes are required for the new cluster. Click Back to
change your node selections.
Fields
- Persistent IP label/IP address
- This field specifies an optional IP label or IP address that you
want to keep bound (persistent) to this node. To specify a persistent
IP label/address for this node, click the arrow to select from a list
of discovered and available labels/addresses that exist in the /etc/hosts file.
You can manually specify an IP address. The value that you specify
must be unique within the cluster and capable of being supported by
a network on the associated node.
- Controlling node
- This selection specifies the controlling node, which is the primary
owner of your highly available application server for the new cluster.
The controlling node is the interface between IBM® Director and the cluster and is the node
upon which all IBM Director
actions are performed. If for any reason the controlling node is unable
to be contacted, PowerHA® SystemMirror
reassigns the controlling node to a node that it can contact successfully.
The
first node in the list is selected as the controlling node by default.
Select this option for the node that you want to specify as the controlling
node for the new cluster.
