information of the cluster member nodes.

The following status fields are displayed for each node that is part of the SnapScale cluster.
Any critical messages are displayed in a

red

font.

Field

Description

Node Name

Name of the node. The default node name is Node

nnnnnnn

where

nnnnnnn

is your node number (for example,

Node1123578).

Node Model

Node model name/number.

OS Version

The version of RAINcloudOS currently loaded on the SnapScale
node.

Hardware

The node’s hardware platform ID.

Node Number

Number derived from the MAC address of the Ethernet 1 port,
used as part of the default node name.

BIOS

The BIOS version for the node.

Serial Number

Unique number assigned to the node.

JVM
