<h1 class="topictitle1">Multiple-release clusters</h1>
<div><p>If creating a cluster that will include nodes at multiple cluster
versions, then certain steps are required when you create the cluster.</p>
<p>By default, the current cluster version will be set to the potential cluster
version of the first node added to the cluster. This approach is appropriate
if this node is at the lowest version level to be in the cluster. However,
if this node is at a later version level, then you will subsequently be unable
to add nodes with a lower version level. The alternative is to use the target
cluster version value on create cluster to set the current cluster version
to one less than the potential cluster version of the first node added to
the cluster.</p>
<p>For example, consider the case where a two-node cluster is to be created.
The nodes for this cluster are:</p>
<div class="tablenoborder"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" frame="border" border="1" rules="all"><thead align="left"><tr><th valign="top" id="d0e29">Node Identifier</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e31">Release</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e33">Potential Cluster Version</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody><tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e29 ">Node A</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e31 ">V5R3</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e33 ">4</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e29 ">Node B</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e31 ">V5R4</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e33 ">5</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
<p>If the cluster is to be created from Node B, care must be taken to indicate
that this will be a mixed release cluster. The target cluster version must
be set to indicate that the nodes of the cluster will communicate at one less
than the requesting node's potential node version.</p>
