Adding Cluster support on production system

[mylesw]

I have a PM 1.8 server that runs great. I have just moved a 2nd PM 1.8 box into our data center so that I can do migrations between both PM servers using the clustering functionality.

In researching this, I read that there are issues with adding a child server to a master for clustering, but my question is whether there is any danger of losing VMs on a Master PM server if I add clustering to it? I'm not worried about the child/slave server because there is nothing on that yet. But I don't want to disturb the master server if I create a cluster and make it the master server in that cluster.

Is there any danger of losing all the VMs on the master server if I add clustering support to it?

Thanks

no.

Thank you. That's great news. Of course I'll backup them the VMs first

Is it still the case with PM 1.8 that the VMs on the slave server will be deleted when the slave PM 1.8 server is added to the cluster though?

Yes, you should not add a node with existing VM to the cluster.
