Logical Cluster Properties

Use the Properties wizard to view logical cluster information.

To initiate the Properties wizard, select the logical cluster from the Administration Console, click the drop-down arrow that appears next to the name, then select Properties.

Wizard Option Logical Cluster Properties
General
View cluster information such as:
  • System view – determines how the logical cluster users view Cluster Edition, whether as an entire cluster, or as individual instances.
  • Automatically start logical cluster – determines whether you want the logical cluster started when the cluster starts.
  • Failover mode – select either instance or group to specify how to bring instances online as a group or individually.
  • Fail to any – specifies whether any instance, or only a specific instance, can be a failover resource.
  • Down routing mode – specifies how client connections are routed if the logical cluster designated by the routing rule is unavailable.
    • system – sends unroutable connections to the system logical cluster.
    • open – sends unroutable connections to the open logical cluster.
    • disconnect – disconnects unroutable connections.
  • Login distribution mode – lets you specify how connections are distributed in logical clusters with multiple instances. The login distribution mode does not affect single-instance logical clusters.
    • affinity – specifies that the instance accepting a connection retains it as long as the target logical cluster is running on that instance. If the load profile specifies a load threshold, and the load on the instance is too high, the workload manager redirects the connection to the least loaded instance in a logical cluster. If the target logical cluster is not running on the instance, the workload manager redirects the connection to the least loaded instance in a logical cluster.
    • round-robin – specifies that incoming connections are distributed in a round-robin fashion among the instances hosting a logical cluster. For example, if “SalesLC” is running on “ase1” and “ase2”, the workload manager sends the first connection to “ase1,” the next to “ase2”, and so on. Load scores are not included in the algorithm.
  • Logical cluster roles – indicates whether this logical cluster assumes an open role, meaning that all connections that are not routed to a logical cluster via an explicit routing rule are routed to the current open logical cluster. When you create a new cluster, the system logical cluster is automatically designated the open logical cluster. You can reassign the open role to another logical cluster. However, only one open logical cluster can exist per physical cluster.
Base Instances

List base instance names, their identification numbers, and their current state.

Failover Instances

List failover instance names, their identification numbers, their current state, and the failover to which they belong.

Routes

List routing applications, logins, and aliases that are associated with the logical cluster.

Load Profile Change the load profile assigned to the logical cluster or view the current load profile information such as:
  • Metric weights assigned to the selected load profile
  • Minimum load score
  • Login redirection
  • Dynamic connection migration
