HP Insight Cluster Management Utility v7.1 User Guide

6 Managing a cluster with HP Insight CMU
Cluster management tasks can be performed on one or more nodes with HP Insight CMU. These
tasks depend on your privileges and the number of selected nodes.
6.1 Unprivileged user menu
When the HP Insight CMU GUI is in normal mode, you can only monitor node status and visualize
static data. You cannot perform any other action on the cluster nodes because of potentially
destructive actions.
6.2 Administrator menu
When the HP Insight CMU GUI is in administrator mode, you can perform all available actions
on the cluster nodes. For information about administrator mode, see “Administrator mode”
(page 33). When one or more nodes are selected, you can access a contextual menu with a
right-click. The contextual menu enables you to execute actions on selected nodes. This contextual
menu is available in network entity, logical group, and user group views. This menu is also
accessible by right-clicking in the overview frame.

6.3 SSH connection
This menu is only available when one node is selected. A secure shell session is launched to the
selected node with ssh. By default, the secure shell session is embedded in an x term window. If
you prefer, the following terminal emulators can be used instead:
KDE 3.X
KDE 4.X
Gnome 2.16
Gnome 2.30
