Cluster Monitor Resources tab

The Cluster Monitor Resources tab displays the following information for MSCS clusters:

• Status Displays the resource status. Resource statuses include Critical, Major, Monitor, Normal, and

Unknown. See “System status types” for more information on network status types.

• Name Physical or logical entity that is capable of being owned by a node, brought online and taken

offline, moved between nodes, and managed as a server cluster object.

• IP The IP address of the cluster.

• State State of the resource: Normal (the resource state is online), Degraded (the resource state is

Unavailable, Offline, Online, Pending, or Offline Pending), Failed (the resource state is failed), and

Other (unable to determine the resource condition).

• Group Collection of resources managed as a single server cluster object.

Note: A group must have a network name and an IP address associated with it for you to access group

resources. A group can be owned by any node in the cluster and can be moved by users with full

configuration rights for load balancing and other administrative purposes. When a failure takes place,

the entire group fails over, prompting the cluster software to transfer all group resources and data to

a different node in the cluster. The resources and data in a transferred (failed-over) group are still

accessible under the same network name and IP address, even after they have been moved to a different

node.

• OwnerNode Node on which a resource resides.

• Type Server cluster object used to categorize and manage resources that have similar characteristics.

• Drive Disk or drive on which the resource resides.

The Last update field displays the date and time of the last update of the information included on the tab.

The Problem Info section includes detailed information on any resource problems reported.

The Problem Info section displays detailed information on any resource status other than Normal.
