7.1.3 RMS Main Window

The RMS tree displays the configuration information of the cluster in a hierarchical format. The tree has the following levels:

Root of the tree - Represents the cluster.
First level - Represents the system nodes in the cluster.
Second level - Represents the userApplication objects running on each of the system nodes.
Third level - Represents the sub-applications (an aggregation of objects if any exist).
Fourth level - Represents the resources required for each of the sub-applications.

If an application has sub-applications, the fourth level represents resources used by that sub-application. If an application does not have sub-applications, then the third level represents all the resources used by userApplication.

Dependency relationships between cluster applications are indicated by controller objects in the RMS tree.

Meanings of object icons

Icon	Meaning
	Represents the cluster.
	Represents a node.
	Represents a parent object (cluster application) that has a child object.
	Represents a child object (cluster application or resource).
	Represents a leaf object (cluster application or resource). A leaf object is an object that cannot have a child object.
	Represents a controller object (cluster application). This object controls an object of another cluster application.

Meanings of state display icons

On the right side of the object icons shown above is displayed a color-coded circle that indicates the state of each object. This section describes the meaning of the colored circles (state display icons).

Information

State display icons are not displayed in cluster icons. Instead, the RMS cluster table can be displayed. For details, see "7.3.3 Concurrent Viewing of Node and Cluster Application States."

Node state display

The state icons that are displayed in nodes are shown below.

Icon	Icon color	Outline	Details
Node	Green	Online	Node is enabled and ready for use.
	Blue	Offline	Node is enabled but RMS is disabled.
	Red	Faulted	Node is disabled. If the node is shutdown normally, "Shutdown" appears in the SysNode state detailed information (as the value of the StateDetails attribute). If the node is shutdown abnormally, "Killed" appears in the SysNode state detailed information (as the value of the StateDetails attribute).
	Yellow	Wait	Node is undergoing a state transition.

Note

The node states in the RMS main window of Cluster Admin may be displayed as Unknown. In this case, exit the Web-Based Admin View screen and restart. If the node states in the RMS main window of Cluster Admin are still displayed as Unknown, check the node states by using hvdisp -a.

State display of other objects

The following state icons are displayed with object icons that fall under parent objects.

Icon	Icon color	Outline	Details
Parent object Child object Controller object Leaf object	Green	Online	Object is enabled and ready for use.
	Green with vertical red lines	Warning	Object has exceeded some warning threshold.
	Blue	Offline	Object is disabled and should not be used.
	Red	Faulted	Object encountered an error condition.
	White	Unknown	Monitoring and control are not being executed for the object.
	Yellow	Wait	Node is undergoing a state transition.
	Sky blue	Deact	Node is deactivated because of maintenance, etc.
	Black	Inconsistent	Node state is inconsistent.
	Green with vertical blue lines	Stand By	Object is in such a state that it can be quickly brought Online when needed.
	Blue with vertical red lines	OfflineFault	Object is Offline, but a fault has occurred before and is not cleared yet.
	Orange	Maintenance	Object is in maintenance mode.
	Orange in the left and green in the right	Maintenance-Online	Object is in maintenance mode and must be Online when exiting maintenance mode.
	Orange in the left and blue in the right	Maintenance-Offline	Object is in maintenance mode and must be Offline when exiting maintenance mode.
	Orange in the left and green in the right with vertical blue lines	Maintenance-Stand By	Object is in maintenance mode and must be Stand By when exiting maintenance mode.

Pop-up menu

If you right-click an object in the RMS tree, a pop-up menu lists the operations for that object. You can also use this menu for monitoring the state.

Note

The following icons may be displayed in the userApplication object or the gResource object.
: This icon is displayed at the right side of the userApplication object state icon. It means that only some resources under the userApplication are started. For details, see "7.2.3 Resource Operation."
: This icon is displayed at the right side of the gResource object. It means that a resource fault occurred in the past. For details, see "7.3.5 Fault Traces of Resources" in "PRIMECLUSTER Reliant Monitor Services (RMS) with Wizard Tools Configuration and Administration Guide."
: This icon is displayed at the right side of the userApplication object state icon. It means that status of some resources in the userApplication has changed from the status just before the start of maintenance mode. To exit the maintenance mode, all the resource status in userApplication must be changed back to the original status just before the start of maintenance mode. For more information, refer to "7.2.2.6 Entering maintenance mode for Cluster Application."
: Though this icon indicates that the resource fault occurred in the past, it has nothing to do with the current state of the resource.
For this reason, this icon is subsequently shown as "Fault Traces of Resources."
If you want to check the current state of the resource, check the resource object state.
This icon is hidden in any of the following cases:
- After executing the Online processing of the resource.
- After clearing the fault trace resources manually. For details, see "7.2.3.3 Clearing Fault Traces of Resources." Even when the icon is shown, unlike the Faulted state of cluster applications(*), there is no influence on switchover activities of cluster applications. Therefore, if you do not need to display the icon, clear it manually.
(*) When the cluster application is in the Faulted state, you need to clear the Faulted state if you specify the cluster application for switchover again.
In the RMS tree, only the status of the second level userApplication object of some system nodes is displayed while the status of the third and fourth level objects is not displayed. This event occurs when OS of the system node is restarted or Web-Based Admin View is restarted while Cluster Admin is running. To recover from such an event, select and right-click the object of the target system node on the RMS tree, then select "Connect" from the pop-up menu. The RMS tree is updated to the latest state, and the status of third and fourth level objects is displayed.
