Sites and the enterprise

The Cluster Management Console employs two concepts that make it easier to organize cluster objects and to navigate among them. The first concept is the enterprise. The enterprise represents all clusters in your entire company or organization that are configured for centralized management. The second concept is the site. Sites represent logical groupings of clusters in the enterprise.

The console displays sites and the enterprise as an expandable, navigable tree of branch lines and icons. The enterprise is the root of the tree, which can branch into many sites. Each site branch contains more branches that represent hardware and software objects such as clusters, service groups, and systems.

Enterprise and site navigation tree


  Note   The console uses tree branches and icons to represent sites as well as the real hardware and software components of a cluster. However, sites remain purely abstract, logical groupings of clusters. These groupings are determined by a special type of attribute called a Site tag that you define and apply at your discretion.
