See
Access a CC-SG Cluster

instead of IP addresses, the DNS server should contain reverse
lookup records for the IP addresses of the CC-SGs to ensure the
hostnames can be resolved.

will restart and the process takes several minutes.

Configure Cluster Settings
You cannot change the time zone in a cluster configuration.
To configure cluster settings:
1. Choose Administration > Cluster Configuration.
2. In the Configuration tab, modify or configure the settings.
If necessary, modify the cluster name.
For Time Interval, enter how often CC-SG should check its
connection with the other nodes. Valid range is 5-20 seconds.
Note: Setting a low Time Interval will increase the network traffic
generated by heartbeat checks. You may want to set higher intervals
for clusters with nodes located far apart from each other.
For Failure Threshold, enter the number of consecutive
heartbeats that must pass without a response before a CC-SG
node is considered failed. Valid range is 2-10 heartbeats.
3. Click Update to save your changes.
