Configuring coordination point (CP) servers
In order to protect the cluster from data corruption caused by a cluster failure that results in "split-brain," coordination point (CP) servers must be deployed. If you do not have CP servers configured already, you must configure the CP servers that are used to provide non-SCSI-3 fencing protection at this point in the deployment process.
CP servers can be used for multiple clusters, so this step will only be necessary the first time a cluster is configured and no CP servers are available.
Tasks for configuring a new CP server:
