Before you begin

About this task

To create a cluster, you have to log in through the console, and configure the node management IP address on any node in the cluster network. After you have configured the node management IP address on a node, you can add other nodes and create a cluster by using ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series.

The cluster setup operation is not supported on MetroCluster configurations for ONTAP software.
