<h1 class="topictitle1">Design your cluster</h1>
<div><p>Identify your needs to determine how to design your cluster.</p>
<p>Because there are a variety of ways to use clustering depending on
what you are hoping to achieve, it is important to spend some time identifying
your needs to determine how to design your cluster. </p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaigplandesignnetwork.htm">Design your network for clusters</a></strong><br />
Before you configure your networks for clustering, you need to plan carefully and do some initial pre-cluster configuration involving TCP/IP.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaigplanmixedrelease.htm">Multiple-release clusters</a></strong><br />
If creating a cluster that will include nodes at multiple cluster versions, then certain steps are required when you create the cluster.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaigplanidentifysystems.htm">Identify servers to include in a cluster</a></strong><br />
In order to identify the servers that you want to include in a cluster, you need to decide which servers are capable of providing adequate backup for the data and applications you need to run your business.</li>

<span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Primary-backup CRGs and peer CRGs provide resiliency
for resources within a cluster; however, it is important to understand their
differences and uses.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></li>

Not every application will give you the availability benefits of clustering.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaigplandataresilience.htm">Plan for data resilience</a></strong><br />
Data resilience is achieved when data is always available to an user or application. You can achieve data resilience through the use of logical replication or switchable independent disk pools.</li>
