You can discover Windows Server clusters as clusters or as individual standalone machines, depending on the PlateSpin global configuration setting DiscoverActiveNodeAsWindowsCluster.
To discover Windows clusters as clusters, set the DiscoverActiveNodeAsWindowsCluster parameter to True. This is the default setting. Cluster discovery, inventory, and workload migration use the host name or IP address of a cluster’s active node, instead of using its cluster name and an administration share. You do not configure separate workloads for the cluster’s non-active nodes. For other cluster workload migration requirements, see Requirements for Cluster Migration.
To discover all Windows clusters as individual standalone machines, set the DiscoverActiveNodeAsWindowsCluster parameter to False. This setting allows the PlateSpin Server to discover all nodes in a Windows failover cluster as standalone machines. That is, it inventories a cluster’s active node and non-active nodes as a regular, cluster-unaware Windows workloads.
To enable or disable cluster discovery:
Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:
https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/
Replace Your_PlateSpin_Server with the DNS host name or IP address of your PlateSpin Migrate Server.
Search for DiscoverActiveNodeAsWindowsCluster, then click Edit.
In the Value field, select True to enable cluster discovery, or select False to disable cluster discovery.
Click Save.
