Graphical User Interface

Sun Cluster software supports the SunPlex^TM Manager, a GUI tool that you can use to perform various administrative tasks on your cluster. For specific information about how to use SunPlex Manager, see the Sun Cluster online help.

To administer Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software using the GUI, the root passwords must be the same on all nodes of both clusters in the partnership.

You can only use the GUI to administer Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software after the software infrastructure has been enabled using the geoadm start command. Use the CLI to issue the geoadm start and geoadm stop commands. For information on enabling and disabling the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition infrastructure, see Chapter 3, Administering the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Infrastructure.

The GUI does not support creating custom heartbeats outside of a partnership. If you want to specify a custom heartbeat in a partnership join operation, use the CLI to execute the geops join-partnership command.
