Creating Shared Cluster Drive

In this article, we will walk through the creation of the : the “Shared Drive”

Shared drive is drive shared by all nodes through iSCSI, SAS, NVMe-oF, NVMe over TCP or Fibre Channel.

To begin creating a cluster drive, click on “Create Cluster Drive” within the “Cluster Drive Management” section.

1. Select Storage Type

Choose the type of storage for your cluster drive. You can either create a drive mirror or a shared drive accessed by both nodes via iSCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF, or NVMe over TCP. In this example, we will create a shared drive.

Enter a name for your new cluster drive.

3. Select Shared Drive

Only drives with the identical serial number that are found on at least 2 nodes are shown

4. Assign an IP Address
