Group By Cluster

This check box will be selectable if any agent machines belong to an MSCS cluster.

 

  • When the check box is not selected, the Available pane displays a cluster name next to any clustered computers and virtual servers.

 

  • When the check box is selected, clustered computers and virtual servers are displayed in their cluster groups.

 

Virtual servers are identified with a special icon along with the name of the current host node.

 

IMPORTANT: Do not include a virtual server in an IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager for Databases group. If a database is hosted on a virtual server, no alerts (for example, New Database Tablespace Discovered) will be triggered. Databases on virtual servers are not currently monitored by IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager for Databases.

 

See the IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager online help and user guide for more information about how to use computer alerts for virtual servers.
