Creating sites
When creating a new site, you first create the site and then assign storage systems to that site:
1. Click New to open the New Site window.
2. Enter a name for the site and an optional description.
3. [Optional] Make the site primary, if appropriate.
4. Click Add in the Site Systems section and then select the storage systems for this site.
5. Click OK when you have finished creating the site.
The Set up Sites window opens, displaying the first site created and the remaining unassigned
storage systems in the list.
6. Repeat these steps to create additional sites.
7. When you have finished creating sites, click Next to continue with the wizard.
If you want to assign servers to a site, you can edit the site to do so.
8. Click Add to assign each VIP and Subnet Mask as planned for your site layout.
NOTE: You can have one VIP per subnet.
9. Click Next to continue.
10. Click Finish when you have finished defining the volume.
The management group, sites, Multi-Site cluster, and the volume are all created. This process
takes some minutes.
Viewing the Multi-Site cluster information
You can view the completed sites and related information in two places. The Cluster tab view
shows the sites in relation to the cluster.
• The Cluster tab view (Figure 15 (page 22)) which shows the sites.
• The Sites view (Figure 16 (page 23)) which shows detailed information about the storage
systems in the cluster.
