The clusters in the MetroCluster configuration must be in a peer relationship so they can communicate with each other and perform the data mirroring essential to MetroCluster disaster recovery.
Configuring intercluster LIFs to share data ports
Configuring intercluster LIFs to share data ports enables you to use existing data ports to create intercluster networks for cluster peer relationships. Sharing data ports reduces the number of ports you might need for intercluster networking.
Creating the cluster peer relationship
You create the cluster peer relationship using a set of intercluster logical interfaces to make information about one cluster available to the other cluster for use in cluster peering applications.
