This dialog box can display the following views: | |
Grid Formation | The Main Node will usually be the DS-Client service that started first. Once other Nodes that are configured as part of the Grid DS-Client start, they will join as Leaf Nodes. |
Main Node | The Main Node instructs all Leaf Nodes about what activities to perform. It is the only one that listens for incoming DS-User connections. The Main Node also perform backup and restore activities with DS-System. |
Leaf Node | A Leaf Node performs backup and restore activities with DS-System as instructed by the Main Node. It does not listen for incoming DS-User connections. A Leaf Node always maintains an open connection to the Main Node (via TCP port 4410). |
Graph View | Graph view shows a visual representation of the Grid status. • Graph Layout: Select the layout for the graph (Linear or Star). |
List View | List view shows information from the common Grid DS-Client database, sorted by node. • ID: ID of the corresponding DS-Client node. • Name: Server name of the corresponding DS-Client node. • Address: IP Address of the corresponding DS-Client node. • Type: Shows if the node is the Main Node, a DS-Client node (Leaf), or if it is not connected. • Status • CPU Usage (%) • Activities • Task Limits • Memory Load (%) • Memory Commit (MB) • Send (Kilobytes/second) • Receive (Kilobytes/second) • At the bottom of the list is the Grid DS-Client database node. |
Stop Node (List View) | Allows you to stop the highlighted node in the list. • Opens the "Stop DS-Client Node" dialog box. |
Export | Allows you to export the IP Addresses of the current Grid DS-Client. • Opens the "Export Grid DS-Client Address" dialog box. |
Options | Refresh every [...] seconds: The graph or list is automatically updated at this interval. |
