The General page contains cluster-wide
properties. You can view and edit these properties by using the Edit and Edit
Advanced Properties tasks.
Fields
The first section contains the name,
status, and type of the selected cluster.
- Software
- The Software section contains the HA version
and AIX® version of the selected
cluster.
- Resources
- The Resources section contains the repository
disk and node names, the controlling node name, and multicast IP address
for the selected cluster.
- Repository
- Displays the location that is used by PowerHA™ SystemMirror software to
store configuration data.
- Controlling node
- Displays the node that is the communications link between a cluster
and the Director UI. All actions performed with the Director UI are
performed on the controlling node. For those changes to become effective
on the other nodes in a cluster, you must synchronize the cluster.
For additional information about synchronizing a cluster, see Verify and Synchronize a Cluster.
- Cluster multicast address
- Displays the IP address that is used by the PowerHA SystemMirror software to
send messages to peer nodes when a node failure occurs in a cluster.
- Security
- The Security section contains the security
level and type of security certificate.
- Security level
- Designates whether the security level is low, medium, or high.
- Security node identity
- Designates the type of security certificate that is used: PowerHA, OpenSSH, or custom.
- Other
- The Other section contains verification
and synchronization information.
- Synchronize file collections every
- The interval of time in minutes that determines how often file
collections are synchronized.
- Event timeout
- The interval of time in seconds that an event can run before it
is stopped by the system.
- Automatically verify cluster configuration
- If this feature is enabled, the system automatically verifies
the cluster configuration every 24 hours and reports those results
throughout the cluster.
