Configuring the DX Cluster Services Node

Software

After installing and rebooting the DX Cluster Services Node, you are

automatically prompted to enter some minimal configuration data to

configure and deploy the DX Cluster Services Node. This configuration

process is required only once after the initial installation. Any necessary

updates to the parameters entered during this initial boot process can be

made from the Cluster Services Node Console. For more information about

configuring the Cluster Services node, see the Cluster Services Node

Installation and Configuration Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Restoring the Cluster Configurations

Previous cluster configuration files can be restored through the Cluster

Services Node Console (Cluster Services TAB Backup and Restore). For more

information on restoring cluster configurations, see the Cluster Services Node

Installation and Configuration Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Bringing Up the DX Storage Cluster

Turn on the storage nodes in your cluster. Each storage node network boots

from a DX Storage Node image located on the DX Cluster Services Node.
