Adding a remote cluster to a local cluster

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can designate a remote cluster as the failover target for the service groups that are configured on a local cluster. You must begin with two standalone clusters. This task can be performed from either cluster.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the cluster or the Availability perspective. The permission on the cluster may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To add a remote cluster to a local cluster
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective and expandManage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization, or Uncategorized Clusters to locate the cluster.
  3. Right-click on the required cluster and select Disaster Recovery>Setup GCO.
  4. In the Setup GCO between selected clusters panel, select the local cluster and the cluster that is to be configured as the remote cluster.
  5. Click Finish to confirm the action.
