Notes about a cluster environment

When you set up a cluster configuration for the management server, the following applies when using

HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products:

• The disk configuration must be the same on all the nodes that make up a cluster. Additionally, the

installation destination for the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products must also be

the same, including the drive letter and path.

• If you change some HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition product settings after a cluster has

been created, specify the same settings for all the nodes.

• A group of clustered services, that is the set of services for which failover is performed, is called

a resource group.

• If Host Data Collector is installed, the Host Data Collector service (Host Data Collector Base Service)

on the standby node must always be running, even when operating on the active node.
