7.1.2 CRM Main Window

When you monitor the state of the PRIMECLUSTER system, the CRM main window allows you to view the states of the resources managed by the cluster resource management facility and identify failed hardware.

This section describes resource states and operation methods related to hardware resources.

See

The CRM main window is a screen of the cluster resource monitoring facility. See "crm" in "4.4.3 Cluster Admin Functions."

7.1.2.1 Displayed Resource Types

This section shows the resources associated with the hardware resources that are displayed in the CRM main window.

The detailed resource information lists the icons that are used in the CRM main window.

7.1.2.1.2 Resource States

In the CRM main window, the displayed icon types and states differ for each resource class.
For each resource, an icon that indicates a failure (OFF-FAIL or ON-FAILOVER) is displayed if there is a fault in a subordinate resource. In the CRM tree view, expand the icons sequentially from cluster icon to node icons to subordinate resource icons, and identify the faulted resource. If the resource state is OFF-FAIL or ON-FAILOVER, see "7.4 Corrective Actions for Resource Failures," and take corrective actions.
If the resource state is ON, OFF-STOP, or UNKNOWN, you don't need to take any corrective actions.

Cluster states

The following cluster states are displayed.

Error

Immediate replacement is necessary.

Warning

Life replacement or preventive replacement is necessary.

If either icon is displayed, see the "Machine Administration Guide," and take corrective actions.

Note

  • If a node is LEFTCLUSTER in CF, it becomes ON in the CRM tree view.

  • After you execute the "clinitreset(1M)" command to initialize the resource database, the resource states displayed in the CRM main window differ according to the actual resource states. Execute "clinitreset(1M)", reboot the nodes, and then close the browser and redisplay the screen. Execute the "clinitreset(1M)" command after removing a cluster application.

Shared resource states

The following states are displayed for shared resources.

Icon

Icon color

*1 Set Initial Configuration menu can be selected only if the resource database has not been set up. This menu item is not displayed in the pop-up menu.

*2 This feature is enabled only for the resources for which the patrol diagnosis has been set.

*3 Only the resources of the DISK, Ethernet, and MPDisk classes, which have been registered in hardware where the patrol diagnosis facility runs, are enabled. For the hardware settings, see "6.9 Setting Up Patrol Diagnosis."

*4 Only the disk resources that are registered to Global Disk Services are enabled.

*5 This feature is enabled only if the Enhanced Support Facility is installed.

*6 Help for the CRM main window is displayed with a separate browser from the browser that displays Help for CF, and RMS.

Note

  • Only available menus are displayed in the pop-up menu.

  • If there are no available menu items for the resource selected from the CRM tree view, "None" is displayed in the pop-up menu. Selecting this item will not initiate any operation.

  • For information about user groups, see "4.2.1 Assigning Users to Manage the Cluster."

Initial setup

Select this item to set up the resource database to be managed by the cluster resource management facility. Select Tool -> Initial setup to display the Initial Configuration Setup screen. The initial configuration setup cannot be operated simultaneously from multiple clients. See "5.1.3.1 Initial Configuration Setup."

Automatic configure

Select this item to register the devices connected to the system to the resource database. Automatic configuration cannot be operated simultaneously from multiple clients. See "5.1.3.1 Initial Configuration Setup."

Diagnosis

Select this item to diagnose the selected resource. Execute this diagnosis operation to check whether faulted hardware has been properly recovered after hardware recovery is performed. See "7.4.2 Corrective Action when Patrol Diagnosis Detects a Fault."

  • Yes button

    Executes resource diagnosis.

  • No button

    Does not execute resource diagnosis.

Start

This menu item activates the selected resource. The start operation is executed during maintenance work. If the selected resource is registered to a cluster application, the start operation can be executed only when that cluster application is in the Deact state. Use the RMS main window to check the cluster application state.

Note

  • After completing the maintenance work, be sure to return the resource that you worked on to its state prior to the maintenance.

  • If the resource that was maintained is registered to a cluster application, be sure to stop the resource before clearing the Deact state of the application.

  • Yes button

    Executes resource start processing.

  • No button

    Does not execute resource start processing.

Stop

This menu item deactivates the selected resource. The stop operation is executed during maintenance work. If the selected resource is registered to a cluster application, the startup operation can be executed only when that cluster application is in the Deact state. Use the RMS main window to check the cluster application state.

Note

  • After completing the maintenance work, be sure to return the resource that you worked on to its state prior to the maintenance.

  • If the resource that was maintained is registered to a cluster application, be sure to stop the resource before clearing the Deact state of the application.

  • Yes button

    Executes resource stop processing.

  • No button

    Does not execute resource stop processing.

Machine Information

This menu item displays the machine management screen of the selected node.
This menu item can be used only if Enhanced Support Facility (ESF) is installed.
For details on the machine management screen, see the "Machine Administration Guide."
