Cluster creation

This topic describes the procedure for creating an IBM Storage Scale Erasure Code Edition cluster.

Install IBM Storage Scale Erasure Code Edition on all cluster nodes, and create an IBM Storage Scale cluster by using either the IBM Storage Scale installation toolkit or manual procedures that are documented in the Steps for establishing and starting your IBM Spectrum® Scale cluster topic in the IBM Storage Scale: Concepts, Planning, and Installation Guide.

Assign quorum nodes, cluster manager roles, and other roles as described in the Planning for node roles.

Use the mmnetverify connectivity all option in the mmnetverify command in the IBM Storage Scale: Command and Programming Reference Guide to ensure that your network is configured for use by IBM Storage Scale.
