Viewing the cluster status

You can view a list of all the nodes in the cluster on the Cluster Status widget of the Appliance Dashboard.

1. On the Appliance Dashboard, locate the Cluster Status widget.

   If the Cluster Status widget is not displayed on the Appliance Dashboard, select Dashboard > Cluster Status and click Save.

   The Cluster Status widget displays the following table columns:

   Host Name

   Displays the host name of a node in the cluster. Click the host name of a node to open the Appliance Dashboard in a separate web browser. A node with no link indicates that it is the same node that you are working from.

   Role

   Displays the role of the node in the cluster.

   Primary

   Indicates that the node is Primary.

   Member

   Indicates that the node is Member.

   Status

   Displays the status of the node in the cluster.

   Available

   It indicates that the node is available for your business requirement.

   Not Available

   It indicates that the node is not available for your business requirement.

   Note: If the status of a node is displayed as Not Available, you can still click the host name link to start the Appliance Dashboard.

   Undetermined

   It indicates that the status of the node cannot be determined.

   Not applicable

   It indicates that the node is a primary node.

   Synchronization State

   Displays the synchronization state of the node in the cluster. For more information, see the following table.

   Table 1. Synchronization states table.

   State	Description	Action
   Not Connected	Displays when a Member node cannot connect to a Primary node or when a Primary node cannot connect to the Member node.	Connect the Member node with the Primary node. For a node with the Not Connected status, click Reconnect Node to connect that node into the cluster. See Reconnecting a node into the cluster.
   Not Synchronized	Displays when the Member node is not synchronized with the Primary node.	Synchronize the Member node with the Primary node. See Synchronizing a member node with a primary node.
   Synchronized	Displays when the Member node is synchronized with the Primary node.	No action is required.
   Synchronizing	Displays when the Member node is synchronizing with the Primary node.	Wait until the synchronization is complete. Click the Refresh icon to get the most recent status.
   Not Applicable	Displays if the cluster node is a Primary node because the Primary node does not require any synchronization.	No action is required.
   Error	Displays when the action fails to retrieve synchronization details for the node.	Check log files for more information.

2. Optional: Click the Refresh icon to display the updated data again.
