Cluster options
The main cluster option from the menu can display the cluster name, IP address,
or can be blank.
The main cluster option displays the cluster name that the user has assigned. If no
name has been assigned, the IP address of the cluster is displayed. If this SAN
Volume Controller is not assigned to a cluster, the field is blank.
Status
Status is indicated on the front panel.
This field is blank if this SAN Volume Controller node is not a member of a
cluster. If this SAN Volume Controller node is a member of a cluster, the field
indicates the operational status of the cluster, as follows:
Active
v
Indicates that this SAN Volume Controller node is an active member of the
cluster.
Inactive
v Indicates that the SAN Volume Controller node is a member of a cluster, but is
not now operational. It is not operational because the other SAN Volume
Controller nodes that are in the cluster cannot be accessed or because this SAN
Volume Controller node was excluded from the cluster.
Degraded
v
Indicates that the cluster is operational, but one or more of the member SAN
Volume Controller nodes are missing or have failed.
IP address
The IP address is used to access the cluster from the command line tools or Web
browser.
This field contains the existing Ethernet IP address of the cluster. It is set during
the create-cluster operation. You use this address to access the cluster from the
command line tools or from a Web browser. If this SAN Volume Controller is not a
member of a cluster, this field is blank.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask address is set when a cluster is created.
The subnet mask option displays the subnet mask address. It is set during the
create-cluster operation.
