Getting Started

    Checkmark  Make sure you have the current version of Cluster Manager (Java Console) installed. If you have a previous version installed, upgrade to the latest version. Cluster Manager (Java Console) is compatible with earlier versions of VCS.

    Checkmark  Cluster Manager (Java Console) is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 systems. If you are using a Solaris system, you must use Solaris 2.7 or higher to support JRE 1.4.

    Checkmark  Verify the configuration has a user account. A user account is established during VCS installation that provides immediate access to Cluster Manager. If a user account does not exist, you must create one. For instructions, see Adding a User.

    Checkmark  On UNIX systems, you must set the display for Cluster Manager (Setting the Display).

    Checkmark  Start Cluster Manager (Starting Cluster Manager (Java Console)).

    Checkmark  Add a cluster panel (Configuring a New Cluster Panel).

    Checkmark  Log on to a cluster (Logging On to and Off of a Cluster).


    Note   Note    Certain cluster operations are enabled or restricted depending on the privileges with which you log on to VCS. For information on specific privileges associated with VCS users, see VCS User Privileges.

Setting the Display


Note   Note    The UNIX version of the Cluster Manager (Java Console) requires an X-Windows desktop. Setting the display is not required on Windows workstations.

  To set the display

  1. Type the following command to grant the system permission to display on the desktop:
       # xhost +
  2. Configure the shell environment variable DISPLAY on the system where Cluster Manager will be launched. For example, if using Korn shell, type the following command to display on the system myws:
       # export DISPLAY=myws:0
