Cluster Management: Prioritize Server Page

Cluster name: Displays all of the server clusters that are currently registered with Management & Control Services (MCS). If you have a standalone installation of MCS, or have only added servers to one cluster, only the default cluster name (MCS Cluster) is listed.

Server name: Displays the servers that belong to the cluster selected in the Cluster name list. The current priority of each server is indicated by the order in which it appears in this list (highest priority at the top).

The top server in the list has a priority of 0 (zero), indicating that it is the primary server in the cluster. The second server has a priority of 1, the third server has a priority of 2, and so on.

Up: Click a server in the Server name list and then click this button to increase the server's priority within the cluster.

Note You cannot change the priority of the primary server in the default cluster (MCS Cluster).

Down: Click a server in the Server name list and then click this button to decrease the server's priority within the cluster.

Prioritize: Click this button to save any priority changes you have made. If you move a new server to the top of the Server name list and click this button, that server becomes the new primary server for the selected cluster, and its priority becomes 0 (zero).
