Creating a Quorum Server

This operation enables you to create a third-party quorum server for HyperMetro domains. When the communication between storage devices in a HyperMetro pair becomes abnormal, the quorum server decides which site continues to provide services, thereby greatly improving service continuity.

Prerequisites

A replication cluster has been configured.

Procedure

  1. Choose Data Protection > Configuration > Quorum Server.
  2. Click Create.

    The Create Quorum Server page is displayed.

  3. Set the properties of the quorum server. Table 1 describes related parameters.
