FIGURE 2-7 Cluster Nodes Console Windows
3. To enter text into both node windows simultaneously, click the cursor in the
Cluster Console window and enter the text.
The text does not display in the Cluster Console window, and will display in both
node windows. For example, the /etc/hosts file can be edited on both cluster
nodes simultaneously. This ensures that both nodes maintain identical file
modifications.
Note – The console windows for both cluster nodes are grouped (the three windows
move in unison—
FIGURE 2-7). To ungroup the Cluster Console window from the
cluster node console windows, select Options from the Hosts menu (
FIGURE 2-8) and
deselect the Group Term Windows checkbox.
