3.2. Cluster Operations

Creating a New Cluster
Before creating a new cluster, ensure that there is at least one server available to be assigned to it. The servers in a cluster all run the same type of CPU.

Important

The default ovirtmgmt network cannot be modified once a cluster has been created. Any configuration required for the ovirtmgmt network, such as enabling VLAN tagging, must be performed before a cluster is created, and the cluster is still in the Uninitialized state.
Perform the following steps to create a new cluster:
  1. On the Tree pane, click the + sign next to the System tab. A list of clusters displays. Select the required Cluster from this list.
  2. Open clusters by either expanding the required Cluster tab in the Tree pane and clicking on Clusters or select Clusters from the Details pane.
  3. Click the New button. The New Cluster dialog box displays.

  5. Click OK to create the cluster. The new cluster is added and displays on the Clusters tab.
