12.4.2. Procedure – Adding new properties to clusters

As properties have to be used for all parameters that are different on each node, it is recommended to create all properties before adding the additional hosts to the cluster. Naturally, this is not required; properties can be defined any time. To add a new property to the cluster, complete the procedure below.

1. 

   Figure 12.6. Adding a new property

   Click the New property button on the Nodes tab of the cluster to define a new property.

2. 

   Figure 12.7. Defining a new property

   Enter a name for the new property, and select the type and subtype of the property.

   The possible property subtypes are the following.

   • ip_address

   • port

   • ip_netmask

   • interface_name

   • hostname

   You can set initial values for the properties as well.

   The new property is added to all nodes automatically. (Properties can be manipulated both in Nodes and Properties view.)

3. Set the value of the new property for all nodes separately by clicking the Edit button.
