improved.
This chapter explains how to set up a cluster environment for P9000 Command View AE Suite products.
Verifying the management server environment
The setup procedure differs depending on the management server environment. For details, see the

Before setting up a cluster environment, re-create and back up the database. Check that the following
unused capacity is available on the management servers:
• Unused capacity required at the location where the database is re-created:
The required unused capacity is equal to the disk space used by the Common Component database
combined with the disk space used by the databases for all P9000 Command View AE Suite
products (including the Device Manager server database) installed on a Device Manager server.
• Unused capacity required to back up the databases:
