7. When your cluster was configured initially, the installer may have created a template for

configuring file serving nodes. To use this template to configure the file serving node undergoing

recovery, go to “Configuring a file serving node using the original template” on page 108.

To configure the file serving node manually, without the template, go to “Configuring a file serving

node manually” on page 112.

To configure a Management Server that hosts the agile management console, go to “Configuring

a file serving node manually” on page 112.
