About Veritas Cluster Management Console

Veritas Cluster Management Console offers web-based cluster administration and management. It can be configured to locally manage a single cluster or to centrally manage multiple clusters.

For information on installing the console to manage multiple clusters, see the Veritas Cluster Server Management Console Implementation Guide.

 

Operational mode
Configurational description

Local management of one cluster (single-cluster mode) 

The Cluster Management Console is installed along with VCS on each node in the cluster and is configured for failover. The console is integrated with VCS as part of the ClusterService service group. The Cluster Management Console offers robust cluster management capability and can be run from any supported Web browser on any system.  

Centralized, comprehensive, enterprise-wide administration of multiple clusters (multi-cluster mode) 

When configured to centrally administer multiple clusters, one instance of the Cluster Management Console is installed outside all clusters on a standalone management server.  

The management server uses a database to store cluster configurations, cluster status, events, event policies, report jobs, report outputs, and more. 

If the managment server and cluster nodes are separated by a firewall, a component called cluster connector is installed on each cluster node.  

The console offers additional capability for administering users, reports, events, and notification. If the cluster environment includes licensed VCS global clusters, disaster recovery (DR) capability is also available.
