26 Managing MSCS clusters

Cluster Monitor is a core component of HP SIM, and adds the ability to monitor and manage
multi-node clusters. Cluster Monitor also manages multiple cluster platforms in a heterogeneous
environment.

Procedure 40 Managing clusters

1.

Access the Cluster Monitor page by using one of the following methods:

Method 1:
1.

Select Tools

→System Information→Cluster Monitor.

Note: If no MSCS clusters are discovered, Cluster Monitor is not listed in the menu.

2.

Select a target MSCS cluster, and then click Run Now.

Method 2:
1.

Locate a cluster by expanding Systems under the System and Event Collections panel
and selecting a cluster collection.

The appropriate cluster collection table appears in the workspace.

view page.

In the Cluster Name column, click the name of the MSCS cluster.

In the CS column on the cluster table view page, click the MSCS cluster status
icon.

Problem Info section that provides details about problems reported on the tab. For example,

other than Normal.

Each tab also includes a Last Update field that displays the last time the information on the
tab was updated.
