Cluster Management
The Cluster Console itself cannot be deactivated. To perform maintenance on the Cluster
Console, you must deactivate all cluster members individually. This, in effect, deactivates the entire
cluster. When your maintenance is completed, reactivate each cluster member.
To reactivate a disabled cluster member, click the Activate button. Activating a cluster member
will synchronize its configuration information by comparing the last time of replication and
update the system with the configuration from the Cluster Console. A complete resynchronization
will be required if the replication times do not exactly match.
A cluster member will be deactivated automatically if the Cluster Console is unable to
communicate with it, and an alarm will be issued when this occurs. Email processing is not
affected by this deactivation.
Start-Up Configuration
Click the Configure button to select then an action to perform when a cluster member system
restarts.
• Wait for Console — The cluster member, after a restart, will wait until it contacts the Cluster
Console system and synchronizes before processing mail. The system will try to contact the
console for five minutes before starting without synchronization.
• Start immediately — The cluster member will start immediately without contacting and
synchronizing its configuration with the Cluster Console system.
