Chapter 2: Introduction 4
• Cluster-wide administration. The HP CFS Management Console (a
Java-based graphical user interface) and the corresponding command-
line interface enable you to configure and manage the entire cluster
either remotely or from any server in the cluster.
• Failover support for network applications. HP Clustered File System
uses virtual hosts to provide highly available client access to mission-
critical data for Web, e-mail, file transfer, and other TCP/IP-based
applications. If a problem occurs with a network application, with the
network interface used by the virtual host, or with the underlying
server, HP Clustered File System automatically switches network
traffic to another server to provide continued service.
• Administrative event notification. When certain events occur in the
cluster, HP Clustered File System can send information about the
events to the system administrator via e-mail, a pager, the HP CFS
Management Console, or another user-defined process.
