1. On the Form a Cluster — Step 2 dialog box, enter a name for the cluster and specify the IP
address and netmask for the Management Console IP (also called the Cluster Management
IP or Management IP). This IP address runs on a virtual interface (VIF) assigned to the entire
cluster for management use. Think of it as the “IP address of the cluster.” You should connect
to this VIF in future GUI management sessions. The VIF remains highly available.
NOTE: If you are using a 2, 3, or 4 network layout, install this IP on the bond1 network.
Also enter the IP addresses and domain for your DNS servers, and the IP addresses for your
NTP servers.
The Configuration Summary lists the configuration you have specified. Select Commit to
continue.
NOTE: Ensure that the Management IP is on the same subnet as the cluster network (bond0
for the unified network layout; bond1 for all other layouts).
2. The wizard now configures the active management console (Fusion Manager) on this blade.
