| Creating a Cluster
When a system administrator wishes to create a new cluster, she will run a cluster installation utility on the system to become the first member of the cluster. For a new cluster, the database is created and the initial cluster member is added. The administrator will then configure any devices that are to be managed by the cluster software. We now have a cluster with a single member. The next step is to run the installation procedure on the each of the other members of the cluster. The only difference is that the name of the existing cluster must be entered, and the new node will automatically receive a copy of the existing cluster database.
