Members Status Description

Member

The node is part of the cluster.

Note: A node can be a member of a cluster; however, the node may

be inactive and incapable of running services. For example, if rgman-

ager is not running on the node, but all other cluster software compon-

ents are running in the node, the node appears as a Member in the

Cluster Status Tool.

Dead The node is unable to participate as a cluster member. The most ba-

sic cluster software is not running on the node.

Table 5.1. Members Status

Services Status Description

Started The service resources are configured and available on the cluster sys-

tem that owns the service.

Pending The service has failed on a member and is pending start on another

member.

Disabled The service has been disabled, and does not have an assigned own-

er. A disabled service is never restarted automatically by the cluster.

Stopped The service is not running; it is waiting for a member capable of start-

ing the service. A service remains in the stopped state if autostart is

disabled.

Failed The service has failed to start on the cluster and cannot successfully

stop the service. A failed service is never restarted automatically by

the cluster.

3. Modifying the Cluster Configuration

To modify the cluster configuration (the cluster configuration file (/etc/cluster/cluster.conf),

use the Cluster Configuration Tool. For more information about using the Cluster Configura-

tion Tool, refer to Chapter 4, Configuring Red Hat Cluster With system-config-cluster.

Warning

Do not manually edit the contents of the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file without

guidance from an authorized Red Hat representative or unless you fully under-

stand the consequences of editing the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file manually.
