Starting a Cluster

Starting a cluster from the Administration Console after the agent is authenticated allows you to see a log trace with any warning and error messages.

Prerequisites

The agent must be running on each node and the cluster or clusters must be registered and available in the Perspective Resources screen.

Task

If the agent is authenticated and you choose to start the cluster from the Administration Console, you see a log trace in the dialog that shows the start-up status along with any potential warning or error messages. You can optionally start a cluster immediately after you register and authenticate the agent on the Server Properties screen; however, using this option does not provide a log trace.

  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select multiple resources then select Resource > Administration Console from the menu bar.
  2. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select ASE Servers to populate the right pane with a list of servers.
  3. Select a cluster or multiple clusters, click the drop-down arrow that appears next to the name, then select Start Cluster. To start multiple servers at the same time, the servers must be the same type. You can start multiple Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) or Shared Disk Cluster (SDC) servers.
    The Start Cluster screen appears.
  4. Click Yes.
    Start-up messages are displayed.
Done appears in the Start Cluster window when the start-up request has finished.
