Changing the selected node

As mentioned earlier, information on pages accessed in monitor mode exists for the selected node and for the cluster as a whole. You start the process to change the selected node from the Dashboard page by clicking on a node name.

▼Changing the selected node

1 Click on the node name.

2 Provide the Administrator ID and password, if necessary. It is only necessary to log on to a node once during a given Manager UI session.

Note	Should you forget your password, contact Customer Service at Intel
	Corporation for assistance. For information on how to contact Intel Customer
	Service, see the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Product Support booklet
	that came with your system.
	After changing the selected node, that name appears as black text without
	underlining, while the remaining node names appear as hypertext links.
	If you need more information about the selected node, click the Node page
	button (described in Using the Node page‚ on page 20).
Note	The online help provides descriptions of each of the statistics in the Dashboard
	page.

Using the Node page

The Node page provides performance statistics for the currently selected node in your cluster and the cluster as a whole. These statistics include document hit rates, DNS lookups, and client and server transactions.

▼Reaching the Node Page

1 Be sure you are in monitor mode. If not, click the MONITOR tab. 2 Click the Node page button.
