Showing partners

The Partners Table lists all nodes that have communicated with the selected explorer or discovered node. A node contained in the explorer node's netmap or that shows up in node statistics may also be listed in this table, even if the node in question has never communicated with the selected node. This status is indicated by the check mark in the netmap or statistics column.

To view the partners of an explorer node:
  1. In the Node Discovery Explorer List or Discovery List, right-click a server.
  2. Select Show Partners. The Partners Table displays a listing of partner nodes. The columns that comprise the listing are defined in the following table:
    Column Description
    # Row number.
    Name or Alias The server ID.
    Node Name The Sterling Connect:Direct® node name.
    Node Type Type of Sterling Connect:Direct node (D = Discovered, E=Explorer).
    From Netmap A check mark indicates that this node was identified as a partner by virtue of being in the selected node's netmap.
    From Stats A check mark indicates that this node was identified as a partner by virtue of being included in node statistics.
    Discovered Time Time the node was found during Node Discovery.
