Setting up basic configuration

To set up a basic configuration of a Failover system, do the following:

Go to the CONFIGURATION tab.
Hover the mouse cursor over the button and click the N+M button.
Add Servers to the configuration.
1. Click .
2. Select a specific Server, or add all Servers at once.
Create nodes:
1. Click .
2. Enter the node name and click the PROCEED button.
  Attention!
  A node name may contain Latin and numerical characters, and the "-" symbol.
3. Create the required number of nodes.
  Attention!
  - The number of nodes must be less than the number of Servers.
  - No more than 10 nodes must be connected to a single event cluster database.
By default, the self-diagnostics service is running on all nodes (see Self-diagnostics service). To stop it, de-activate the Self diagnostics parameter (1).
Click the Logging button to set the logging options:
1. Select Logging level (2, see Configuring Logging levels).
2. Set the settings for the archive of logs (3-5, see Configuring the system log archive).
Click the APPLY button.
The configuration is now created, and the nodes are now automatically started.
Merge all nodes into a single domain (see Connecting to a Node and Configuring of an Domain).
Set up the archive of the Failover system.
In a Failover system, we recommend you to physically locate the archive on a separate NAS remote storage that all servers in the cluster have access to.
For each node, create a separate archive in the remote storage (see Creating a remote archive).
