PowerScale OneFS Simulator Installation Guide

Configure a virtual cluster

After installing one or more virtual nodes, you can configure a virtual cluster through the configuration wizard. The wizard provides step-by-step guidance for configuring a new virtual cluster or for adding a new virtual node to an existing virtual cluster.

1. In the configuration wizard, select one of the following options:
   • To create a new virtual cluster, type 1.
   • To join the virtual node to an existing virtual cluster, type 2.
   • To exit the wizard and configure the virtual node manually, type 3.
   • To reboot into SmartLock Compliance mode, type 4.
   NOTE You cannot mix enterprise nodes with compliance nodes. If you choose to configure as SmartLock Compliance mode nodes, all nodes must have option 4 selected, and rebooted to configure up the cluster.
2. Follow the prompts to configure the virtual cluster. See the Virtual cluster configuration settings section for details.
3. Open an SSH client and type the lowest IP address from the external range.
4. Log in with the root username and password.
5. NOTE This step activates advanced features that are activated through the license option in the UI or CLI.
   (Optional) At the command prompt, run the following command to activate the permanent evaluation license:
