For example, assume two drive volumes are defined in your shared storage. The primary owner of the drive volume labeled E: is Node1. The primary owner of the drive volume labeled F: is Node2. When the cluster is in a normal state, Compaq Insight Manager will show E: as being owned by Node1 and F: as being owned by Node2. When a failover event occurs, ownership of the drives changes. Assume Node1 experiences a failure and its resources fail over to Node2. When the failover is complete and Compaq Insight Manager polls the cluster, Node2 will be identified as the owner of both F: and E:.

Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Cluster-Specific Features of Compaq Insight
Manager
The following is an overview of the cluster-specific features found in Compaq
Insight Manager.
NOTE:
The term
cluster group
used in this section refers to Compaq Insight Manager, not
to Microsoft Cluster Server.
■
When Compaq Insight Manager discovers a cluster, a cluster group is
automatically created and added to the Group window of Compaq
Insight Manager’s Explorer Device List screen. The cluster protocol and
address are also displayed.
■
Compaq Insight Manager includes cluster management capabilities that
allow you to:
Launch Microsoft Cluster Administrator.
Bring up the Insight Manager Cluster Shared Resources screen.
View the status of the cluster service running on each node.
View the overall status of all cluster resources.
■
From the Compaq Insight Manager Cluster Shared Resources screen
you can:
View address, transport protocol, and physical ID of all cluster
interconnects.
View the current state of all cluster resources.
Sort the interconnect information and resources by multiple criteria.
In Compaq Insight Manager, all displayed interconnect and resource
information is polled and updated dynamically, including status and
ownership.
For example, assume two drive volumes are defined in your shared storage.
The primary owner of the drive volume labeled E: is Node1. The primary
owner of the drive volume labeled F: is Node2. When the cluster is in a normal
state, Compaq Insight Manager will show E: as being owned by Node1 and F:
as being owned by Node2. When a failover event occurs, ownership of the
drives changes. Assume Node1 experiences a failure and its resources fail over
to Node2. When the failover is complete and Compaq Insight Manager polls
the cluster, Node2 will be identified as the owner of both F: and E:.
