Working with Clusters
VxVM includes an optional cluster feature that enables VxVM to be used
in a cluster environment. To activate the cluster feature, you must obtain
a license for the VxVM cluster functionality.
After adding the cluster license to the machine, you must restart the
VERITAS Volume Manager server to enable cluster support. When a
cluster license is present on a machine, VxVM displays a Clusters icon in
the object tree (even if the machine is not currently set up as a node in a
cluster). When a cluster is shown in the tree, all active/inactive nodes
that are members of the cluster are displayed in the tree, as shown in
Figure 6-1, “Tree/Grid View of a Cluster.”
