3.12 What actions can be performed on cluster resources?

  1. Select a cluster, then select Dashboard.

  2. On the dashboard, navigate to the Resources tab, you can perform the following tasks: create resource, add to favorites, configure a resource, bring online, take offline, and migrate.

    • To create resource, click Create resource. Alternatively, you can access this option from the dashboard by clicking Actions > Create resource.

    • To add a resource to favorites, select the desired resource and select Add to my resources. To view these resources, select Show my resources only in the Advanced Filters.

    • To configure a resource, select the desired resource and select Configure.

    • To bring a resource online, select the desired resource and select Take online. This action runs the load script, loading the resource on its primary preferred node or on an alternate preferred node.

    • To take a resource offline, select the desired resource and select Take offline. This action runs the unload script, removing the resource from the server. The resource cannot be loaded on any other server in the cluster and remains unloaded until you load it again.

    • To migrate a resource, select the desired resource and select Migrate. When a resource is migrated, it moves from the node where it is currently running to another node. You can select node from the Preferred Nodes list or other unassigned nodes.

  3. In the list of resources, the master resource (MASTER_IP_ADDRESS_RESOURCE) cannot be selected, as no actions can be performed on it.

    The following status is displayed for each resource.
