Verifying the Cluster Configuration
To verify the node configuration, use the show ioa cluster name node summary command:
sw-231-14# show ioa cluster
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sw-231-14(L)
sw-231-19
To verify the ip address of the node, use the show ioa cluster name node command:
Node sw-231-14 is local switch
Node ID is 1
IP address is 10.1.1.1
Status is online
Belongs to Site site2
Node is the master switch
Node sw-231-19 is remote switch
Node ID is 2
IP address is 10.1.1.2
Status is online
Belongs to Site site1
Node is not master switch
sw-231-14#
To see all of the configured interfaces in the IOA cluster, use the show ioa cluster name interface
summary command:
sw-231-14# show ioa cluster cltr1 interface summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration Example
This section includes an example for creating an IOA cluster using IPFC interface.
the IOA cluster configuration used in this example. The sample topology shows the FC ISL between
sw-231-14 and sw-231-19 switches.
