Cluster health and details

Use the main view of the Cluster Summary page to identify cluster health, details, hardware components, and cache allocation.

The health of the system is checked and updated automatically at times that are determined by the TS7700. Data on the page is not real time. To populate the summary with updated health status, click the Refresh icon. This operation can take some time. If Write Protect Mode is enabled on the cluster, a lock icon is shown on the cluster image.
