Use the commands in this section to create an IVX cluster.
Create the cluster framework:
Log in to the Central Management CLI.
Go to CLI configuration mode:
cm-hostname > enable cm-hostname # configure terminal
Create the cluster:
cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx cluster <cluster name> where <cluster name> is a unique name identifying the cluster.
Add nodes to the cluster:
Add a node to the cluster:
cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx cluster <cluster name> node <nodeName>
Repeat the previous step for each node you want to add.
Enable brokers:
Enable broker mode on a node:
cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx cluster <cluster name> broker <node name> enable
Repeat the previous step for each additional broker (if any).
Verify and save your changes:
Verify your changes:
cm-hostname (config) # show cmc mvx cluster detailcm-hostname (config) # show cmc mvx cluster detail
cm-hostname (config) # write memory
Example
The following example creates a cluster named Cluster-01 on the cm-1 Central Management appliance, adds vx-1 and vx-2 as cluster nodes, enables broker mode on vx- 1, and designates vx-1 as the master configuration.
cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx cluster Cluster-01 cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx cluster Cluster-01 node vx-1 cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx cluster Cluster-01 node vx-2 cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx cluster Cluster-01 broker vx-1 enable cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx cluster Cluster-01 master vx-1 cm-1 (config) # show cmc mvx cluster detail MVX Cluster: Cluster-01 Version : 8.3.0 Utilization : 0 % Status : ready Total Nodes : 2 Member Status: Brokers: vx-1 : 10.11.121.12 - ready Compute Nodes: vx-2 : 10.11.121.18 - ready
