Microsoft Cluster Administrator
While the primary responsibility of Compaq Insight Manager is to monitor the
overall status of the cluster hardware, services, and resources, Microsoft’s
Cluster Administrator is most adept at managing the groups, resources, and
operating state of the cluster. Cluster Administrator gives you the ability to:
■ View the current status of cluster groups and resources.
■ Bring groups and resources online and offline.
■ Manually move groups and resources to another server node.
■ Manually move groups and resources to their preferred server.
■ Pause groups and resources.
■ Restructure a group’s resource dependency tree.
Cluster Administrator can be run remotely or on a server node. If Cluster
Administrator is installed remotely, the remote node must be in the same
domain as the server node. When running Cluster Administrator remotely, you
should connect to the cluster by means of Compaq Insight Manager or by
using the cluster IP address or cluster name.
NOTE: The remote feature is not supported in Microsoft Windows 95 or 98.
Refer to the Microsoft Cluster Server Administrator’s Guide or the
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server documentation for a thorough
description of Cluster Administrator’s features and specifics on how to use the
utility.
