Working with Clusters
VxVM includes an optional cluster feature that enables VxVM to be used in a cluster environment. To activate the cluster feature, you must obtain a license for the VxVM cluster functionality.
After adding the cluster license to the machine, you must restart the VxVM server to enable cluster support. When a cluster license is present on a machine, VxVM displays a Clusters icon in the object tree (even if the machine is not currently set up as a node in a cluster). When a cluster is shown in the tree, all active/inactive nodes that are members of the cluster are displayed in the tree
- To display the objects in a cluster, expand the cluster hierarchy (by clicking on the plus sign next to the Clusters icon).
- To determine which node is the master in a cluster, expand the cluster hierarchy for the appropriate cluster and select Hosts from the cluster hierarchy. The grid displays the names and properties of the nodes in the cluster. The Type column indicates which node is the master.
The Cluster Properties window also indicates which node is the master. To access this window, select a cluster and choose Properties from the Selected or popup window.
