Configuring an IOA Cluster
To configure a cluster, start with a switch and create a cluster and add the remaining IOA switches into
the cluster. From this point on, all cluster parameters can be configured from this switch.
To create an IOA cluster, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
sjc-sw2# config t
sjc-sw2(config)#
Step 2
sjc-sw2(config)# ioa cluster
tape_vault
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl)#
sjc-sw2(config)# no ioa
cluster tape_vault

Displaying IOA Cluster Status
The following examples display the cluster information:
sjc-sw2# show ioa cluster
IOA Cluster is tape_vault
Cluster ID is 0x213a000dec3ee782
Cluster status is online
Is between sites SJC and RTP
Total Nodes are 2
OL-20708-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.0(1a)
0 i-t activate request, 0 i-t deactivate request
Administratively down—The interface is shut down.
Not in any cluster—The interface is not part of any IOA cluster.
Port software failure—A software failure has occured causing a reset of the IOA service engine.
No license—The interface does not have a valid IOA license. The license is either not installed or
all the available licenses are in use.
You need to select a switch that you want to be the master switch as the seed switch when you
create the IOA cluster. If you have multiple switches in a site, you may add all the switches in a
site that you want to manage from to the cluster before adding the switches from the remote site.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Assigns a user-specified name (tape_vault) to the IOA cluster.
The maximum length of the name is 31 alphabetical characters.
Enters the cluster configuration submode. The local switch is im-

Deletes the specified IOA cluster.
