You can use the web-based manager to monitor the status and logs of individual
cluster members. See

“To view the status of each cluster member” on page 95

and

“To

view and manage logs for individual cluster units” on page 96

.

You can manage individual cluster units by using SSH to connect to the CLI of the
cluster. From the CLI you can use the execute ha manage command to connect to

the CLI of each unit in the cluster. You can also manage individual cluster units by
using a null-modem cable to connect to the primary cluster unit. From there you can
also use the execute ha manage command to connect to the CLI of each unit in the

cluster. See

“To manage individual cluster units” on page 97

for more information.
