• Sites • Sites (Grouped) Designating a primary site Use the Primary designation when you are using the Multi-Site cluster to maintain a primary site and a second site as a backup site. Designate the site as Primary when you create the site, or you can edit an existing site to make it primary. Only one site can be designated as Primary in a Multi-Site cluster. Make sure that the majority of managers are in the Primary site. Adding a site Create new sites directly in the CMC if you want to add a site to an existing cluster. You must have equal numbers of storage systems in each site. The Failover Manager can occupy a site by itself. 1. Select the Sites node in the navigation window. 2. Right-click and then select New Site. 3. Type in a site name and optional description. 4. (Optional) If you are setting up a primary configuration, select the Primary box. 5. In the Site Systems section, click Add to add storage systems to the site. 6. Select the appropriate systems, and click OK when you are finished. 7. In the Site Servers section, click Add to add servers to the site. 8. Select the servers, and click OK when you are finished. 9. Click OK again when you have finished creating the new site. The Sites Details tab displays the new site with its storage systems and servers. Editing a site You can edit any aspect of the site, including: • Changing the name and description of the site • Changing the primary designation NOTE: Only one site can be primary. • Adding or removing systems. IMPORTANT: All sites must have the same number of storage systems, except for the Failover Manager, which can reside in a site by itself. • Adding or removing servers.
