Creating a cluster using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the commands in this section to create an IVX cluster.

Create the cluster framework:
  1. Log in to the Central Management CLI.

  2. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    cm-hostname > enable
    cm-hostname # configure terminal
  3. 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:
  1. Add a node to the cluster:

    cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx cluster <cluster name> node <nodeName>
    
  2. Repeat the previous step for each node you want to add.

Enable brokers:
  1. Enable broker mode on a node:

    cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx cluster <cluster name> broker <node name> enable
  2. Repeat the previous step for each additional broker (if any).

Verify and save your changes:
  1. Verify your changes:

    cm-hostname (config) # show cmc mvx cluster detail
  2. cm-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
