Overview
Information about the appliance configuration procedure depending on the mode of deployment.
You can deploy the appliance in your network in one of these two modes:
-
Standalone: As a single node offering all the functions. This option is usually preferred for initial or test deployments, and in smaller network environments. If you select Standalone mode for your initial deployment, you can add more appliances later to form a cluster. When configuring the standalone host, ensure that you set it up as the first, or primary, node in the cluster.
-
Cluster: As a node that belongs to a three-node cluster. In this mode, all the services and data are shared among the hosts. This is the preferred option for large deployments. If you select Cluster mode for your initial deployment, be sure to finish configuring the primary node before configuring the secondary nodes.
To continue, complete these tasks:
-
Configure the primary node in your cluster. See Configure the primary node using the Maglev wizard.
-
If you have installed three appliances and want to add the second and third nodes to your cluster, see Configure a secondary node using the Maglev wizard.
