Chapter 10Administering Sun Cluster With the Graphical User InterfacesThis chapter provides descriptions of SunPlex Manager and Sun Management Center graphical user interface (GUI) tools, which you can use to administer some aspects of a cluster. It also contains procedures to configure and launch SunPlex Manager. The online help included with each GUI provides instructions for how to accomplish various administrative tasks using the GUI. This is a list of the procedures in this chapter. SPARC: Sun Management Center OverviewThe Sun Cluster module for Sun Management Center™ (formerly Sun Enterprise SyMON™) GUI Console enables you to graphically display cluster resources, resource types, and resource groups. It also enables you to monitor configuration changes and check the status of cluster components. However, the Sun Cluster module for Sun Management Center currently cannot perform all Sun Cluster administrative tasks. You must use the command-line interface for other operations. See "Command Line Interface" in Chapter 1 for more information. For information on installing and starting the Sun Cluster module for Sun Management Center, and for viewing the cluster-specific online help supplied with the Sun Cluster module, see the Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS. The Sun Cluster module of Sun Management Center is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliant. Sun Cluster has created a Management Information Base (MIB) that can be used as the data definition by third-party management stations based on SNMP. The Sun Cluster MIB file is located at /opt/SUNWsymon/modules/cfg/sun-cluster-mib.mib on any cluster node. The Sun Cluster MIB file is an ASN.1 specification of the Sun Cluster data that is modeled. This is the same specification used by all Sun Management Center MIBs. To use the Sun Cluster MIB, refer to the instructions for using other Sun Management Center MIBs in the "SNMP MIBs for Sun Management Center Modules" in Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide. SunPlex Manager OverviewSunPlex Manager is a GUI that enables you to graphically display cluster information, monitor configuration changes, and check the status of cluster components. It also allows you to perform some administrative tasks, including installing and configuring some data service applications. However, SunPlex Manager currently cannot perform all Sun Cluster administrative tasks. You must use the command-line interface for some operations. Information about installing and using SunPlex Manager can be found in the following locations.
Using SunPlex Manager Accessibility FeaturesSunPlex Manager supports third-party accessibility software when run through an accessible browser, such as Internet Explorer 5. This section describes some of these accessibility features.
Configuring SunPlex ManagerSunPlex Manager is a GUI that you can use to administer and view the status of some aspects of quorum devices, IPMP groups, interconnect components, and global devices. You can use it in place of many of the Sun Cluster CLI commands. The procedure for installing SunPlex Manager on your cluster is included in the Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS. The SunPlex Manager online help contains instructions for completing various tasks using the GUI. This section contains the following procedures for reconfiguring SunPlex Manager after initial installation. SunPlex Manager Character Set SupportThe SunPlex Manager recognizes a limited character set to increase security. Characters that are not a part of the set are silently filtered out when HTML forms are submitted to the SunPlex Manager server. The following characters are accepted by the SunPlex Manager: ()+,-./0-9:=@A-Z^_a-z{|}~ This filter can potentially cause problems in the following two areas:
