Back to Top Guarded Cluster A cluster where only the Management Server has a network connection to nodes outside of the cluster. All of the Compute Nodes are connected within the cluster on a private subnet (i.e. IP addresses of 10.*.*.* or 198.162.*.*). Back to Top Head Node A Head Node provides user access to the cluster. In smaller clusters, the Management Server may also serve as a Head Node. References: z Management Server Back to Top

A cluster where only the Management Server has a network connection to nodes outside of
the cluster. All of the Compute Nodes are connected within the cluster on a private subnet
(i.e. IP addresses of 10.*.*.* or 198.162.*.*).
