Starting nodes

Starting a cluster node activates clustering and cluster resource services on a node in an IBM® i high availability environment.

A node can start itself and is able to rejoin the current active cluster, provided it can find an active node in the cluster.

To start clustering on a node using the PowerHA graphical interface, follow these steps:

  1. In a Web browser, enter http://mysystem:2001, where mysystem is the host name of the system.
  2. Log on to the system with your user profile and password.
  3. Click PowerHA from the IBM Navigator for i window.
  4. On the PowerHA page, click on Cluster Nodes.
  5. On the Cluster Nodes page, select Start from the context menu of the node you want to start.
