Getting Started

  Make sure you have the current version of Cluster Manager (Java Console) installed. If you have a previous version installed, upgrade to the latest version. Cluster Manager (Java Console) is compatible with earlier versions of VCS.

  Cluster Manager (Java Console) is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 systems. If you are using a Solaris system, you must use Solaris 2.7 or higher to support JRE 1.4.

  Verify the configuration has a user account. A user account is established during VCS installation that provides immediate access to Cluster Manager. If a user account does not exist, you must create one. For instructions, see Adding a User.

  On UNIX systems, you must set the display for Cluster Manager (Setting the Display).

  Start Cluster Manager (Starting Cluster Manager (Java Console)).

  Add a cluster panel (Configuring a New Cluster Panel).

  Log on to a cluster (Logging On to and Off of a Cluster).

  Note    Certain cluster operations are enabled or restricted depending on the privileges with which you log on to VCS. For information on specific privileges associated with VCS users, see VCS User Privileges.

Setting the Display

  To set the display

1. Type the following command to grant the system permission to display on the desktop:
      # xhost +
2. Configure the shell environment variable DISPLAY on the system where Cluster Manager will be launched. For example, if using Korn shell, type the following command to display on the system myws:
      # export DISPLAY=myws:0
