In Figure 8-2, the machine is inheriting all of its configuration settings for the current feature from the
cluster mode. The settings being inherited in a light grey (preview).You can retain these settings or
change them, overriding the cluster level settings for this machine.
Note The inherited settings (preview display) will always show the settings inherited from the cluster. Use
caution when enabling or disabling dependent services among group and cluster levels. For more
information, see Copying and Moving Settings, page 8-11.
If you click the Override Settings link, you are taken to a new page for that feature. This page allows you
to create new configuration settings for machine mode. You may begin with the default settings, or, if
you’ve already configured settings in another mode, you can copy those settings to this machine.

Alternatively, as shown in Figure 8-2, you can also navigate to modes where this configuration setting
is already defined. The modes are listed in the lower half of the centralized management box, under
“Settings for this feature are currently defined at:”. Only those modes where the settings are actually
defined will be listed here. When you view a page for settings that are defined in (and inherited from)
another mode, the page will display those settings for you.
