Validating a cluster
Use this action to determine if your
cluster configuration is correctly configured. This action is not available
in Startable-CD mode or when the ServeRAID Manager is a plug-in for another program.
- Click a system
from the Main Tree.
- Click Actions -->
Validate cluster. The Validate cluster window opens. The system you
selected in step 1 is listed in the Node A box.
Note: You cannot change the Node A system in the Validate cluster window.
To select a different system, click Cancel to return to the Main Tree.
- Select your second system from
the Node B drop-down list box.
Note: The Node B system defaults to the first system in the Main Tree
other than the Node A system. If there are no remote systems in the Main Tree,
click Cancel to return to the Main Tree and add a remote system.
- Click Start. The ServeRAID
Manager scans both systems to verify the configuration. The progress indicator
reports the progress of the validation.
- If you want to stop the validation
before it completes, click Cancel. Otherwise, if the ServeRAID Manager
found problems with the configuration, it reports the problems in the message
field. If there are no problems with the configuration, the message field
reports only the cluster pairings found.
- To view the problem report events
in an easy-to-read window, double-click an event in the message field.
- To save the contents of the message
field, click Save. A Save as window opens. Specify
the file name for the message field log and click OK.
- Click Done to exit the
Validate cluster window. If the configuration has problems, use the Configure
for clustering action to fix the problems; then, use Validate cluster
again.
