Reviewing Components of the Java Console

Cluster Manager (Java Console) offers two windows, Cluster Monitor and Cluster Explorer, from which most tasks are performed. Use Cluster Manager to manage, configure, and administer the cluster while VCS is running (online).

The Java Console also enables you to use VCS Simulator. Use this tool to simulate operations and generate new configuration files (main.cf and types.cf) while VCS is offline. VCS Simulator enables you to design configurations that imitate real-life scenarios without test clusters or changes to existing configurations. See Administering VCS Simulator for details.
