Configuring PIPs for a Multi-Site Cluster

A multi-site cluster requires that have matching PIPs in each site. During a failover event, the PIP IP address will also change.

Note: If you are using a PIP range, you will need to run the command against every PIP.

  1. Log in to the CloudControl System Console as htadmin.

  2. Select Command Prompt.

  3. Run the following command for each PIP pair:

    asc ha --multiSiteHaConf

    Do you want to edit the mappings in the existing multisite HA configuration? (yes/no) yes
