Options for configuring a PowerHA SystemMirror cluster

In PowerHA® SystemMirror®, you can configure a cluster using one of the several different PowerHA SystemMirror tools.

These tools include:

  • PowerHA SystemMirror SMIT user interface. You can also use the SMIT menus under the Cluster Nodes and Networks > Initial Cluster Setup (Typical) path to configure a typical cluster. You can alternately use the menus under Custom Cluster Configuration > Cluster Nodes and Networks > Initial Cluster Setup (Custom) to create a custom configuration.
  • Cluster Snapshot Utility: If you have a snapshot of the PowerHA SystemMirror cluster configuration taken from a prior release, you can use the Cluster Snapshot utility to perform the initial configuration.
