8.6 Assigning Preferred Nodes in Peer Clusters

After the resource information has been synchronized to the peer clusters, its preferred nodes settings in the Assigned Nodes list in each peer are set to all nodes in the cluster by default. You can change the resource’s preferred nodes settings on peer clusters by specifying the preferred nodes within each of the peer clusters on the resource Assigned Nodes list.

For each BCC-enabled cluster resource, do the following for each peer cluster where you plan to fail over the cluster resource:

  1. In iManager, click Clusters > My Clusters, then click the cluster name.

  2. Click the Cluster Options tab.

  3. Select the box next to the resource whose preferred node list you want to view or edit, then click the Details link.

  4. Click the Preferred Nodes tab.

  5. Click the up-arrow and down-arrow buttons to change the preferred failover order of the servers assigned to the resource or volume.

  6. Click Apply to save the node assignment changes.

    The preferences apply immediately.
