This information provides basic knowledge of clusters and the terminology used throughout this document. Nodes The most basic parts of a cluster are the server heads. A server node is any individual computer in a cluster or a member of the cluster. If the NAS device is a member of a cluster, then the server heads are referred to as nodes. Resources Hardware and software components that are managed by the cluster service are called cluster resources. Cluster resources have three defining characteristics: ■ They can be brought online and taken offline. ■ They can be managed in a cluster. ■ They can be owned by only one node at a time. Examples of cluster resources are IP addresses, network names, physical disk resources, and file shares. 198 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide
