Filtering Hosts
The Available Hosts table on Cluster Manager Step 2 (Specify Cluster Properties and Cluster
Members) allows you to filter the list of hosts displayed. To filter the list of hosts:
1.
Click the + Filter link to display the filtering options.
If the volume filter is already displayed, the - Filter link is shown instead, which will collapse the
filtering options.
2.
Enter all or part of a volume name in the Name Contains box.
3.
Select an operating system from the Operating System menu.
4.
Enter all or part of a vendor name in the Vendor Contains box.
5.
Enter a number in the Processors (>=) box.
Hosts with at least as many processors as specified will display in the table.
6.
Enter a number in the HBAs (>=) box.
Hosts with at least as many HBAs as specified will display in the table.
7.
Enter a number in the Ports (>=) box.
Hosts with at least as many ports as specified will display in the table.
8.
Click Filter.
The table is updated to display only the elements that meet the filter criteria.
NOTE:
To reset the filter criteria, click Reset.
File Servers and Clusters
If you have marked a host as a file server and you move it into or out of a cluster, you must remove
the file server data from the host and then re-mark it as a file server. To remove the file server data
from the host and re-mark it as a file server:
1.
Select Reports > Storage Essentials > Data Collection > FileSystem Viewer Data in HP Systems
Insight Manager.
2.
Verify that the File Servers tab is displayed.
3.
Select the file servers you want to remove, and then click Delete.
4.
Click Add File Server.
5.
Click the check boxes for the hosts that you would like to mark as file servers.
6.
Click OK.
The hosts are marked as file servers, and you are returned to the File Servers tab.
7.
After removing the file server data from the host and then re-marking it as a file server, you must
rescan the cluster member nodes and the cluster nodes. If a rescan is not completed, incorrect
data may be displayed.
