Chapter 8: Nodes, Node Groups, and Interfaces

102

Node Names

Node names must be unique. CC-SG will prompt you with options if you

attempt to manually add a node with an existing node name. When

CC-SG automatically adds nodes, a numbering system ensures that

node names are unique.

See Naming Conventions (on page 389) for details on CC-SG's rules

for name lengths.

About Interfaces

In CC-SG, nodes are accessed through interfaces. You must add at least

one interface to each new node. You can add different types of

interfaces to provide different kinds of access, such as Out-of-Band KVM

or serial, power control, In-Band SSH/RSA/VNC, DRAC/RSA/ILO, web,

or Telnet access, depending on the node type.

A node can have multiple interfaces, but only one out-of-band serial or

KVM interface. For example, a Windows Server may have an

out-of-band KVM interface for the keyboard, mouse, and monitor ports,

and a power interface to manage the outlet to which the server is

connected.

Some interfaces only work in Direct mode even though you configure

CC-SG to use Proxy mode. These interfaces include ILO, RSA, Microsoft

RDP, DRAC, Web Browser and VMware Viewer. Java RDP interfaces

can be used in proxy mode. See About Connection Modes (on page

250).

Viewing Nodes

In CC-SG, you can view all nodes in the Nodes tab and select a node to

view its specific Node Profile.

Nodes Tab

When you click the Nodes tab, all nodes to which you have access

appear in a tree structure.

Nodes are displayed alphabetically by name or grouped by their

availability status. Nodes grouped by availability status are sorted

alphabetically within their availability grouping. To switch between sorting

methods, right-click the tree, click Node Sorting Options, then click By

Node Name or By Node Status.

See Custom Views for Devices and Nodes (on page 180) for details

on viewing the Nodes tab in different ways.
