HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.2.1 Windows Storage Server Edition Administration Guide (February 2006)

Chapter 5: Configure Network Interfaces 39
The Servers window on the HP CFS Management Console shows the
network interfaces for each server as defined in this file. (Because there
can be stale information in the configuration file, the Servers window
may not match your current network configuration exactly.)
Each network interface is labeled “Hosting Enabled” or “Hosting
Disabled,” which indicates whether it can be used for virtual hosts.
The Management Console uses the following icons to represent the status
of each network interface..
Administrative Network Failover
An administrative network failure occurs when the interface on a
particular server is no longer receiving HP Clustered File System
administrative traffic. Some possible causes of the failure are a bad cable
or network interface card (NIC).
When the administrative network fails on a server, the PanPulse process
on that server attempts to select another network to act as the
administrative network. A message regarding the network failure also
appears in the system event log.
When the PanPulse process locates another network that all servers in the
cluster can access, all of the servers fail over the administrative network
to that network.
The network interface allows administrative traffic.
The network interface discourages administrative traffic.
