  2. For each server to be added:

    1. Right-click, and select Add Essbase Servers.

    2. In Add Essbase Server, enter the Essbase server name, user name, and password.

    3. Confirm the password that you entered in the preceding step.

  3. From Enterprise View or a custom view, under the Provider Services node, select a provider.

  4. Right-click and select Create, then Create Essbase Cluster.

  5. Select Add Essbase Cluster, then Cluster name, and then enter a name for the cluster; for example, East Coast Sales.

  6. Enter a short description; for example, East Coast sales databases.

  7. Click Add to add servers to the cluster.

  8. In Select Cluster Component Database, specify the Essbase server, application, and database names, and then click OK.

    The Essbase server and associated application and database names are displayed under the cluster component list; for example, localhost.Demo.Basic. A cluster component comprises the Essbase server, application, and database name.
