Upon the completion, the system displays the summary with the detailed information. The process of the cluster creation starts.

It is recommended to uncheck this option before clicking Next and add cluster disks and the Witness drive manually.Д§. The device with the smallest storage volume will be assigned as a Witness. NOTE: If checkbox Add all eligible storage to the cluster is selected, the wizard will add all disks to the cluster automatically. Click Previous to make any changes or Next to proceed. In Confirmation, make sure that all settings are correct. If the IP addresses are set statically, set the cluster IP address manually.Д¦. NOTE: If the cluster servers get IP addresses over DHCP, the cluster also gets its IP address over DHCP. Validate the configuration by running the cluster validation tests: select YesвЂ¦ and click Next to continue. Specify the servers to be added to the cluster.

NOTE: To avoid issues during the cluster validation configuration, it is recommended to install the latest Microsoft updates on each node.ДЎ. NOTE: Make sure that LUNs are not used by other applications at the moment of disconnection, as removing LUNs with active file operations may lead to data corruption. After the вЂњ insertвЂќ command is executed, disk LUNs for the connected controller namespaces should appear in the system.Д¤.В To show the list of connected NVMe-oF controllers, run the вЂњ StarNVMeoF_Ctrl.exe listвЂќ command.ДҐ.В To disconnect LUNs from the system, run the the controller disconnection command StarNVMeoF_Ctrl.exe remove
