General Tab
The General tab on the Cluster Properties page enables you to specify general properties for a new cluster, or to change some properties for an existing cluster. Here are the fields on this tab, in alphabetical order:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Date |
The date when the last inventory information was collected by the Last inventory source for this cluster. Not editable. |
Domain name |
The name of the domain to which the discovered cluster belongs to. A domain is a collection of computers and user accounts that are grouped to achieve centralized management by the domain controller. Enter the name of the domain to which the discovered device belongs. |
Name |
The name of the cluster. Enter the name of the cluster. |
Type |
Specifies the type of the cluster (or more specifically, the brand/technology of the cluster controller). FlexNet Manager Suite supports Hyper-V, Oracle VM, and vMotion clusters. Select the type of the cluster from these options:
|
Source |
If you have multiple overlapping inventory sources
that report on the same device, it is possible for some inventory details to
come from one source and other details from another source. This column
identifies the most recent source of inventory that reported the majority of
the hardware properties for this device. If you have declared a
primary inventory connection and this device appears in inventory from that primary
connection, it is likely that your primary connection is supplying the majority of
hardware properties, and so is shown here.
Tip: If your primary source
reported the majority of hardware properties some time ago, and since then one
or more secondary sources have updated a minority of additional properties, this
value still shows the primary source (source of the majority of hardware
properties). Tracking the primary source is particularly valuable if you have a
variation from IBM allowing you to use FlexNet inventory agent and FlexNet Manager Suite as replacements for IBM tools (such as ILMT) in the
calculation and reporting of sub-capacity licensing for IBM PVU licenses. That
agreement requires that you can demonstrate that the Last inventory source is FlexNet Manager Suite, and that this source is reporting every
30 minutes.
The values are system-provided, and cannot be modified. Most
values are self-explanatory; some less obvious ones include:
Tip: If you have custom inventory adapters, entries for these may
also appear in this column as appropriate.
