View and modify cluster properties

  1. Click Cluster > Summary.

    The Summary page displays.

  2. Click Cluster Properties.
  3. Modify the cluster properties.
    1. The cluster name cannot be changed after installation.
    2. Add or remove user accounts as cluster administrators.
      The default accounts are:
      • Admin: Set as cluster administrator by default.

      • Guest: Not set as cluster administrator by default.

    3. If desired, modify the resource allocation behavior for the cluster.
      • Reclaim shared resources: Reclaims resources from any consumer that has been allocated too many resources for its current needs.

      • Reclaim lent resources before borrowing: When there is an unmet allocation request, sets the cluster to reclaim resources that have been lent out before borrowing begins.

    4. Specify resource groups available to the entire cluster.
      By default, there are three resource groups created when you install and you cannot deselect these three because the system needs them for the cluster to function:
      • ComputeHosts: Once you have created your own resource groups, you can deselect this resource group for the cluster. By default, includes any host in your cluster that is not a management host. These hosts are available to run work.

      • InternalResourceGroup: Group of hosts that run internal processes.

      • ManagementHosts: Includes your master host and any failover candidates plus any other host where you have installed the management host package.
