5.2. Managing High-Availability Services

You can manage cluster services with the Cluster Status Tool (Figure 5.1, “Cluster Status Tool”) through the Cluster Management tab in Cluster Administration GUI.

Figure 5.1. Cluster Status Tool

You can use the Cluster Status Tool to enable, disable, restart, or relocate a high-availability service. The Cluster Status Tool displays the current cluster status in the Services area and automatically updates the status every 10 seconds.

To enable a service, you can select the service in the Services area and click Enable. To disable a service, you can select the service in the Services area and click Disable. To restart a service, you can select the service in the Services area and click Restart. To relocate a service from one node to another, you can drag the service to another node and drop the service onto that node. Relocating a service restarts the service on that node. (Relocating a service to its current node — that is, dragging a service to its current node and dropping the service onto that node — restarts the service.)

The following tables describe the members and services status information displayed by the Cluster Status Tool.
