To configure the high availability (HA) environment for the SN 5428-2 Storage Router, to add the
storage router to a cluster, or to remove it from an existing cluster, use the setup cluster configuration
wizard. The wizard prompts you to select the appropriate HA configuration mode, enter a cluster name
and (if necessary) an HA interface IP address and subnet mask.

Command History
Usage Guidelines The HA features of the SN 5428-2 Storage Router are designed around a cluster of systems that back
each other up in case of failure. A cluster consists of two identically configured SN 5428-2s (or one
SN 5428 and one SN 5428-2) that continually exchange HA information over their HA and management
interfaces.
Clusters are defined by name. The setup cluster command prompts you for the appropriate HA
configuration mode and the cluster name.
• Use the standalone keyword to identify the storage router as not participating in a cluster. A
standalone storage router does not require the management or HA interfaces to be available in order
to complete the system configuration. The MGMT and HA ports do not need to be cabled.
• Use the clustered keyword to identify the storage router as participating in a cluster. A clustered
SN 5428-2 requires the management and HA interfaces to be available in order to complete the
system configuration. The MGMT and HA ports must be correctly cabled.
The command also prompts you to either retain the SCSI routing instance configurations for this storage
router, merging them with others in the cluster, or to delete the existing SCSI routing instance
configuration data and replace it with cluster data. Retained SCSi routing instance configuration data is
replicated to other storage routers in the cluster. When joining an existing cluster, access list information
and other cluster configuration elements, including VLAN, AAA and password settings, are always
deleted and replaced by the cluster’s access lists and other cluster configuration elements.
