During cluster synchronization, the Cluster Management Console receives updates of cluster data called snapshots. It uses these snapshots to refresh the many cluster administration views. For direct connection clusters, the management server initiates the snapshot. If the cluster connector is used for communications between a cluster and the management server, the cluster connector initiates the snapshot
In both cases, if a cluster is initializing or coming up during a snapshot, neither the management server nor the cluster connector can connect to it. Consequently, the Cluster Management Console shows the cluster in an offline state.
