Prerequisites for creating global clusters

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when you create global clusters:
  • The ClusterService service group for all clusters must be properly configured for Cluster Server (VCS) global cluster operations.
  • The csgnic resource or gconic resource (NIC resource), gcoip (IP resource), and the wac resources must come online.
  • The service group that is intended to serve as the global service group must have the same name on the global and the remote cluster.
  • The global cluster and the remote cluster must have unique names.
  • The global cluster and the remote cluster use the same version of VCS.
  • The global cluster and the remote cluster must use the same operating system.
  • When you use InfoScale Operations Manager to create the global cluster, the remote cluster should be part of the same Management Server domain as the local cluster.
