Stretch clustering topology

  • Preferred site configuration

    In a stretched cluster, designate one site as the preferred site to define a location on which all resources will run. The other site becomes the secondary site. The system uses the preferred site if there is a loss of network connection between the two active sites, the preferred site is the one that remains operational. These designations also ensure that VMs and volumes come up on the preferred site after a cold start or after network connectivity issues are resolved.
