## Overview of Establishing a New Cluster or Cluster Node

The following task maps list the tasks to perform for either a new global cluster or a node added to an existing global cluster. Complete the procedures in the order that is indicated.

- Task Map: Establish a New Global Cluster

- Task Map: Add a Node to an Existing Global Cluster

Table 3-1 Task Map: Establish a New Global Cluster

Method | Instructions
--- | ---
Use one of the following methods to establish a new global cluster: |
Use the `scinstall` utility to establish the cluster. | Configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on All Nodes (`scinstall`)
Use an XML configuration file to establish the cluster. | How to Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on All Nodes (XML)
Set up an Automated Installer (AI) install server. Then use the `scinstall` AI option to install the software on each node and establish the cluster. | Installing and Configuring Oracle Solaris and Oracle Solaris Cluster Software (Automated Installer)
Assign quorum votes and remove the cluster from installation mode, if this operation was not already performed. | How to Configure Quorum Devices
Validate the quorum configuration. | How to Verify the Quorum Configuration and Installation Mode
(Optional) Change a node's private hostname. | How to Change Private Hostnames
Create or modify the NTP configuration file, if not already configured. | Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)
If using a volume manager, install the volume management software. | Chapter 4, Configuring Solaris Volume Manager Software
