Cluster Group Hierarchy
You can manage cluster groups at an appropriate level in the group hierarchy.
Cluster groups are always displayed at the All Devices level, but cluster group
shortcuts can be added to other groups.
Filter Groups
A filter groups dialog box is used to create, edit, or delete groups in the group
list hierarchy.
Cluster Address
A cluster address acts as a proxy, communicating with different servers in the
cluster depending on the state of the cluster. A Compaq Insight Manager
device using a cluster address may switch communication from one physical
device to another, which may result in erroneous information being delivered.
Consequently, Compaq Insight Manager does not allow management of a
device that uses a known cluster address.
Compaq Insight Manager XE
Compaq Insight Manager XE is the strategic direction for Compaq to provide
systems management and administration from the Web. Incorporated within
Insight Manager XE is Cluster Monitor, a real-time cluster monitoring system
for ProLiant Clusters using Microsoft Windows NTS/E or Windows 2000
Advanced Server and MSCS. The combination of Insight Manager XE and
Cluster Monitor provides complete systems and cluster monitoring and
management.
Compaq Insight Manager XE extends management beyond a single system to
management of multiple systems using a standard Web browser as the user
interface. By enabling browser access to both the managed device and the
management application, Compaq Insight Manager XE provides management
of devices and groups of devices anywhere, anytime. Additionally, Compaq
Insight Manager XE provides real-time management access to Web-enhanced
devices and proxy management of traditional SNMP and DMI V2 systems.
Compaq management agents provide health status to either Compaq Insight
Manager or Compaq Insight Manager XE. The agents translate data supplied
by the device drivers into useful information that assists the user in correctly
diagnosing the problem. Compaq Insight Manager or Compaq Insight
Manager XE then provide extensive information about how to address the
problem, shortening the resolution time.
