Creating Your First Cluster and Node

The Create Cluster wizard walks you through this process. You can create a cluster without a node, and add the nodes later, but you will not be able to run a discovery without at least one node enabled.

To create your first cluster and node
1
On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, click Create Cluster.
2
Enter a name for the cluster.
A default name, First Cluster, is provided, but you should change this to something meaningful, such as the location of your cluster.
3
Optionally, provide a description.
4
To use a network share, browse to and select your shared data location, and click OK.
- OR -
Select No network share specified.
For more information, see Things to Consider Before Creating a Cluster .
5
Optionally, modify the connection timeouts.
When you first create a cluster, it is recommended that you leave the default settings. Change the timeout settings only if you are getting timeout error messages. For more information, see Troubleshooting Connection Timeouts .
6
Click Next.
If you do not want to add any nodes at this time, skip to step 13.
7
Click Add to configure a computer to serve as a node for this cluster.
8
Browse to the computer where the node is to be created and click OK.
If you do not change the default entry, the first node is created on the current computer.
9
Select a node credential from the Credential Manager.
If the account you want is not on the list, click Add and enter the account, then select it from the list. For more information, see Using the Credential Manager .
* 
NOTE: This account must be a member of the Reporter_Discovery_Nodes group to get access to the encryption key used to encrypt all passwords. This account must have local administrator access to the node computer and write access to the shared data location for the cluster. These credentials also require read access the target computers during a discovery, unless alternate credentials are specified for a discovery. For more information, see Step 1. Create the Discovery (Name) .
10
Optionally, select Specify a separate SQL Server Authentication credential for the database, then select (or add) the SQL Server account in the Credential Manager.
* 
NOTE: This account must have read and write access to the Enterprise Reporter database and must be in the Discovery_Admins group.
11
Optionally, select Specify an alternate credential for Node service deployment, then select the account.
* 
NOTE: This account must have permission to copy files in the Admin$ share folder and to install and run services.
12
Optionally, set tasks to be System - managed or specify a Maximum number of tasks. For more information, see Nodes and Improving the Performance of a Node .
13
Click OK.
You can add more than one node at a time to the same cluster. Repeat steps 7 through 12 until you have added all of your nodes.
By default, nodes are enabled after they are created. If you prefer to manually enable the nodes, clear the Enable Nodes check box. At least one node must be enabled in order for your cluster to be functional.
14
Click Finish.
If you chose to create a cluster without any nodes, click Yes.
The new node appears on the Discovery Nodes tab. Your node will be enabled, unless you cleared the Enable the nodes check box. For a listing of possible node statuses, see What does the status of a node or cluster indicate? .
* 
NOTE: When a node is deployed and enabled, the cluster is also enabled. If you deployed the node without enabling it, you have to manually enable the cluster. For more information, see Enabling a Cluster .
* 
NOTE: If a node fails to deploy, you must delete the node and re-create it. For information, see Node Issues .

Modifying Your Deployment

For some situations, a single cluster with one node may be adequate. Other deployments may range from two or more nodes in a cluster to many clusters with many nodes in each.

Managing Clusters

You may want to add a cluster or change an existing cluster. Occasionally, a cluster might need to be disabled to perform regular system maintenance, or as part of troubleshooting issues with your Enterprise Reporter deployment.

When Do You Add a Cluster?

Typically, clusters are geographically based. A cluster is set up for each geographical location. You could also set up clusters to match your security structure and group nodes into clusters based on the credentials you want to use for collections. For details on adding a cluster, see To create your first cluster and node .
