Siebel Business Analytics Server Administration Guide > Clustering Analytics Servers >

Using the Cluster Manager

The Cluster Manager allows you to monitor, analyze, and manage the operations of a cluster. It provides status, cache, and session information about the servers and controllers that make up a cluster. It is available only when the Administration Tool is connected to a clustered DSN.

NOTE:  If all Cluster Controllers or Analytics Servers in the cluster are currently stopped or offline, you cannot access the Cluster Manager to start them. You must manually start one Cluster Controller (generally, the primary) and one Analytics Server; the others can then be started from the Cluster Manager window.

Cluster Manager GUI

The Cluster Manager Graphical User Interface (GUI) has two panes: the Explorer pane on the left side and the Information pane on the right side. The Explorer pane displays hierarchical information about the controllers and servers that make up a cluster. The Information pane shows detailed information about an item selected in the Explorer pane.

To access the Cluster Manager

1. In the Administration Tool, open a repository in online mode.
2. Select Manage > Clusters.

To refresh the display

• The Cluster Manager window refreshes every minute by default. You can change this value by selecting Refresh > Every and selecting another value from the list.
• To refresh the display at any time, make sure the Cluster Manager is the active window and press F5, or select Refresh > Now. This retrieves the most current information for the cluster.
