Failover Cluster Configurator Prepare Vcha Task

Failover Cluster Configurator Prepare Vcha Task

Prepares the vCenter appliance for a VCHA cluster deployment.

This preparation operation saves the network configuration of the cluster and configures the Active node to be cloned for a VCHA configuration. Prepares the VCHA Active node for ssh keys, vpostgres replication and related configuration file setup needed for a VCHA cluster. If the Active node Cluster network adapter does not exist the prepare operation will fail. No changes will be made if the cluster is already configured.

Required privileges: Global.VCServer
