EVMS supports the administration of cluster nodes by any node in the cluster. For example, storage on remote cluster node node1 can be administered from cluster node node2. The following sections show how to set up remote administration through the various EVMS user interfaces.
To designate node2 as the node to administer from the GUI, follow these steps:
Select ->
Select node2.
Click Administer to switch to the new node.
The GUI gathers information about the objects, containers, and volumes on the other node. The status bar displays the message "Now administering node node2," which indicates that the GUI is switched over to node node2.
To designate node2 as the node to administer from Ncurses, follow these steps:
Go to the pulldown menu.
Scroll down with the down arrow to the "Node Administered" option and press Enter.
The Administer Remote Node dialog opens. Select node2 and press spacebar.
The node you selected is marked with an "x."
Press Enter.
After a while, you will be switched over to the node node2.
