You can use these API methods to create a storage cluster. All of these methods need to be used against the API endpoint on a single node.
More information
CheckProposedCluster
You can use the CheckProposedCluster method to test a set of storage nodes before creating a storage cluster with them to identify possible errors or faults that would occur from the attempt, such as unbalanced mixed node capabilities.
CreateCluster
You can use the CreateCluster method to initialize the node in a cluster that has ownership of the "mvip" and "svip" addresses. Each new cluster is initialized using the management IP (MIP) of the first node in the cluster. This method also automatically adds all the nodes being configured into the cluster. You only need to use this method once each time a new cluster is initialized.
GetBootstrapConfig
You can use the GetBootstrapConfig method to get cluster and node information from the bootstrap configuration file. Use this API method on an individual node before it has been joined with a cluster. The information this method returns is used in the cluster configuration interface when you create a cluster.
