Administration Tools

You can perform administrative tasks on a Sun Cluster configuration by using a graphical user interface (GUI) or by using the command-line. The following sections provides an overview of the GUI and command line tools.

Graphical User Interface

Sun Cluster software supports GUI tools that you can use to perform various administrative tasks on your cluster. These GUI tools are Sun Cluster Manager and, if you are using Sun Cluster software on a SPARC based system, Sun Management Center. See Chapter 12, Administering Sun Cluster With the Graphical User Interfaces for more information and for procedures about configuring Sun Cluster Manager and Sun Management Center. For specific information about how to use Sun Cluster Manager, see the online help for the GUI.

Command-Line Interface

You can perform most Sun Cluster administration tasks interactively through the clsetup(1CL) utility. Whenever possible, administration procedures in this guide use the clsetup utility.

You can administer the following Main Menu items through the clsetup utility.

• Quorum

• Resource groups

• Data services

• Cluster interconnect

• Device groups and volumes

• Private host names

• New nodes

• Other cluster tasks

Other commands that you use to administer a Sun Cluster configuration are provided in the following list. See the man pages for more detailed information.
