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.
