Clustering in System Manager

System Manager has been enhanced to seamlessly support clusters in all areas. You can view

connectivity information from all levels on a single canvas — from applications running on clusters,

to the storage array spindles that share volumes for all the nodes of a cluster.
For detailed information about System Manager, see

Viewing Element Topology and Properties

on page 249.
The following figure shows how clusters are displayed in System Manager. Note that the tree nodes

on the List tab reflect the structure of the clusters.
In this figure, the box on the left of the topology canvas shows a cluster with two hosts, and the box

on the right shows a cluster with four hosts. Both clusters are in the expanded view mode, so all of

the nodes are displayed. To minimize the view of a cluster, click the (-) button.

System Manager Cluster Representation

In the minimized view of a cluster, all of the nodes of the cluster are collapsed into a single box. To

expand the display to show all of the nodes, click on the (+) button.
In the minimized view, a dotted line from an application to a cluster indicates that the application

only runs on some of the clustered hosts. A solid line indicates that the application runs on all of the

clustered hosts.
