Step 5: Configuring the nodes

After cabling and booting the node, you must configure it and the disk shelves, and install any software that will be running on the local node.

To configure the node, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Install the new Data ONTAP release on the node and run setup.
2	License cluster and syncmirror_local on the local node, by entering the following command: license add xxxxx xxxxx is the license code you received for the cluster feature.
3	Reboot the local node by entering the following command: reboot
4	Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the remote node.
5	License cluster_remote on both nodes.
6	Halt both nodes, by entering the following command from each console window: halt
7	Reboot the nodes.
8	Set up your mirrored volumes by entering the following command from each console: *vol create vol-name -m ndisks[@disk-size]* Note The root volumes on both nodes must be mirrored. Note If you have existing volumes, use the `vol mirror vol-name command.`
9	Configure both nodes, as described in Configuring the cluster.
10	Run the cluster configuration checker, as described in Using the cluster configuration checker. Correct any configuration errors that are displayed.
11	Enable clustering by entering the following command on the console: cf enable
12	Check to make sure that the node can see all disk shelves by entering the following command on the console: vol status -r Results Both local and partner disks should be displayed. The local volumes should be mirrored and there should be a listing of both disk pools. It should also list spares disks for both pools.
