  • Page 95: System Management

    Chapter System Management Throughout the life of your Compaq ProLiant CL380, you will encounter the need to improve performance, upgrade hardware components, upgrade software, increase storage capacity, restructure cluster groups, back up cluster data, or monitor ongoing activities. This chapter primarily describes these management concepts as they pertain to Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) or Cluster Service clusters.

    Managing Hardware Components of Individual Server Nodes Compaq Insight Manager has been enhanced to operate with the Compaq ProLiant CL380. While Compaq Insight Manager maintains its current features of viewing and managing servers and their components, it now allows you to view two server nodes as a single cluster entity.

    While only one server node can own the logical drive at any given time, ownership can switch from one server node to another. Compaq Insight Manager reports the current owner of a logical drive and updates this information dynamically if a failover occurs.

    Manager 4.80 or later has been updated to recognize and monitor the Compaq ProLiant CL380. The following section provides an overview of the cluster-specific features found in Compaq Insight Manager. NOTE: The term cluster group used in this section refers to Compaq Insight Manager, not to Microsoft Cluster Server.

    Cluster Software Item. Figure 6-3. Cluster Management screen If Microsoft Cluster Administrator is installed on the Compaq Insight Manager console, you can launch Cluster Administrator by clicking on the Cluster Administrator button near the upper-right corner of the screen, or by selecting an option from the right-mouse menu of the Cluster Software item.

  • Page 101: Cluster Shared Resources Screen

    System Management 6-7 Cluster Shared Resources Screen The Cluster Shared Resources screen (Figure 6-4) contains specific information about the cluster interconnect and all cluster resources running on the server node. From the Cluster Shared Resources screen you can: View address, transport protocol, and physical ID of all cluster interconnects.

    6-8 Compaq ProLiant CL380 Software User Guide Cluster Group Hierarchy You can manage cluster groups at an appropriate level in the group hierarchy. Cluster groups are always displayed at the All Devices level (Figure 6-5), but cluster group shortcuts can be added to other groups.

  • Page 103: Cluster Address

    Cluster Address A cluster address acts as a proxy, communicating with different servers in the cluster depending on the state of the cluster. A Compaq Insight Manager device using a cluster address may switch communication from one physical device to another, which may result in erroneous information being delivered.

    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.

    System Management 6-11 Novell ConsoleOne The Novell ConsoleOne utility is a network management tool that runs on a Windows client or a NetWare 5.1 server. ConsoleOne does not run on a NetWare 4.2 server. The ConsoleOne utility allows you to perform the following tasks: Browse and organize network resources.
  • Page 106 6-12 Compaq ProLiant CL380 Software User Guide There are several methods for backing up clustered systems. Compaq recommends using one of the following backup solutions: The first solution uses two tape backup subsystems with one tape backup subsystem attached to each cluster node.

  • Page 107: Managing Cluster Performance

    System Management 6-13 Managing Cluster Performance As applications or resources transfer from one server to another, the performance of the clustered servers will likely change. The extent of the performance change depends on how well equipped the other server node is to handle the increase in workload.
