Managing a Microsoft Hyper-V (or any MSCS) cluster when an alias is
assigned by DHCP
In Windows Server 2008 Failover Clusters, if the cluster alias is assigned using DHCP, the cluster
alias PTR (reverse lookup) record in DNS will be incorrect, and will cause the cluster to be incorrectly
discovered in Systems Insight Manager.
To correct this problem, delete the cluster objects from Systems Insight Manager, take the steps in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969049 to modify the
cluster DNS behavior, and then rediscover the cluster in Systems Insight Manager.
User experience and application performance
HP Insight Dynamics is based on web client server technologies. Your perception of performance
can be affected by many external sources, including the central management server’s health,
network congestion and latency, and client side equipment and browser.
Every effort to balance performance and functionality has been made to the default settings to
create the best user experience under multiple browsers with different server environments. Changing
these default settings can result in adverse application responsiveness, which is more noticeable
in some browsers; for example, there are known memory issues in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 that
can be exposed in large scale environments. No matter which browser you choose to use, HP
recommends using the latest release and updates to improve your user experience and protect
your environment from the latest security threats.
