2In the Actions list, click Join Supercluster.
3In the Join Supercluster dialog box, do one of the following:
—To create a new supercluster, enter the FQDN or host name of the
virtual management interface for the other Polycom DMA cluster with
which to form the supercluster. Be sure the other cluster is the one
whose data store you want shared with the supercluster.
—To add thi s sy stem to a n ex isti ng supercluster, enter the FQDN or host
name of the virtual management interface of one of the clusters in the
supercluster.
4Enter the user name and password with which to log into the Polycom
DMA cluster you specified.
5Click OK.
A prompt warns you that the system will restart and local data will be
overwritten, and asks you to confirm.
6Click Yes.
The cluster you’re logged into connects to the cluster you specified and
establishes or joins the supercluster. It obtains supercluster-wide
configuration and data (this may take a few minutes). A dialog box
informs you when the process is complete and the cluster is ready to
restart. Shortly after that, the cluster logs you out and restarts.
7Click OK to log out immediately, or simply wait.
Note
You can only add one cluster to a supercluster at a time. Wait until the current join
operation is completely finished before attempting to add another cluster to the
supercluster. The join operation may take several minutes, and the time required
increases as the number of clusters in the supercluster increases.
Note
You may specify an IP address instead, but the host names (virtual and physical) of
every cluster in the supercluster must be resolvable by all the other clusters. For a
superclustered system, A/AAAA records on your DNS server(s) for each physical
host name, physical IP address, and virtual host name are mandatory. See “Add
Required DNS Records for the Polycom DMA System” on page 24.
