    The following Element Manager Plugins table shows an example of a cluster installation with two-nodes. Two versions of the session delivery (SD) plugin exist (v1.0. and v2.0), and only one version is installed at a time. This example also shows how the plugin status can become unsynchronized across the nodes of a cluster in the case of the EnterpriseExt plugin where the delete action is processed on 10.196.65.3 SDM server node, but not completed yet on the 10.196.65.19 SDM server node.
