Before creating a super-cluster, you must couple the clusters as described in Coupling Clusters.
For example, to define the mySuperCluster database as a super-cluster containing the subDB1, subDB2, and subDB3 sub-databases on different clusters, enter this command:
$ curl --anyauth --user user:password -X POST \
-d'{"database-name": "mySuperCluster",
"subdatabases": [
"subdatabase"{"cluster-name":"cluster1", "database-name":"subDB1"},
"subdatabase"{"cluster-name":"cluster2", "database-name":"subDB2"},
"subdatabase"{"cluster-name":"cluster3", "database-name":"subDB3"}]
}'
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \

Note: The maximum capacity for super-clusters is 32 clusters.
