Introduction to ClusterCATS Administration 247
•
Configuring e-mail-based alarm notifications
•
Monitoring clusters
Note
You can run the ClusterCATS Explorer from any server in the cluster, or you can run it
remotely. This flexibility allows administrators in different geographic locations the
ability to administer distributed clusters. You can also use ClusterCATS Explorer to
administer UNIX clusters from a single Windows machine. Multiple clusters can be
viewed from a single Explorer.
The ClusterCATS Explorer presents a view of your cluster in much the same manner
as the Windows Explorer presents a view of the files and directories that reside on a
PC, as the following figure shows:
The ClusterCATS Explorer interface includes four distinct areas:
•
Menu Bar Menu access to all ClusterCATS functionality.
•
Toolbar Shortcuts to the most frequently used ClusterCATS functions.
•
Left Pane Contains views of cluster objects.
•
Right Pane Contains the view folder and files for the object currently selected in
the left pane.
Each of the objects in a ClusterCATS cluster configuration—clusters, servers,
monitors, and probes—is represented by a unique icon. You can manipulate these
icons in much the same manner as you expand and collapse directory trees in the
Windows Explorer application. For a list of which icons represent which objects in
the ClusterCATS Explorer, click the Icon Legend button.
