DMA Operations Guide Supercluster Procedures

2In the Actions list, click Join Supercluster.

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.

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 this system to an existing supercluster, enter the FQDN or host name of the virtual management interface of one of the clusters in the supercluster.

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.

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 may need to restart your browser or flush your browser cache in order to log back into the system.
