Installing the multicluster feature on Windows

Install the multicluster feature on your multicluster primary host. For a Windows installation, follow the installation wizard prompts.

1. Log in to the multicluster primary host using the installation user operating system account.
2. Run the installer package for Windows:

   symmc-version.exe

3. Follow the guided wizard and complete the installation:

   When prompted to specify your cluster name, specify the name of the multicluster's primary cluster. The default is cluster1.

   Your cluster name is permanent; you cannot change it after installation. Do not use the name of any host or user as the name of your cluster. Consider the following rules when naming your cluster:

   • The cluster name can contain up to 39 alphanumeric characters.
   • The cluster name can contain the underscore character (_), the hyphen character (-), and the period (.). No other special characters are supported.
   • The cluster name cannot contain spaces.

   During installation, it is normal for the progress bar to cycle multiple times. Continuous movement indicates progress. The bar is not intended to indicate remaining time.
