About creating global clusters

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
The process of creating a global cluster involves the following tasks:
  • Configure global cluster heartbeats (inter-cluster heartbeats) to monitor the health of the failover target clusters.
  • Create a common service group on a cluster at the local site and on a cluster at a remote site.
  • Convert the service group that is common to both the local and the remote clusters into a global service group.
