Microsoft documents.
About this task
To manage the Microsoft Failover Clusters created with PowerEdge servers, Azure Stack HCI created with AX nodes, and Windows Server HCI created with Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes or combinations of AX nodes and Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes:
Steps
In the upper left corner of the Windows Admin Center, select
Cluster Manager from the drop-down menu.
From the list, select a failover or hyper-converged cluster connection, and then click
Connect.
NOTE If the extension prompts you to specify the "Manage as" credentials, ensure that you select Manage as and provide appropriate cluster administrator credentials to authenticate the managed nodes, and then select the
use these credentials for all connections check box. Ensure that the user is part of the local user group of gateway administrators. For more information about selecting "Manage as", see the "Get Started with Windows Admin Center" section in the Microsoft documentation.
In the left pane of the Microsoft Windows Admin Center, under
EXTENSIONS, click
Dell EMC OpenManage Integration.
To manage a failover or hyper-converged cluster, select:
Health—to view the health status of the server components of the individual nodes in the cluster.
The
Overall Health Status section displays the overall health of the cluster. Select different sections in the doughnut chart to filter the health status of the components of the cluster nodes.
NOTE The overall health status of the cluster might be displayed as critical or warning even though the components of the nodes displayed on the Windows Admin Center are healthy. For more details on the components in critical health state, go to the respective iDRAC console.
The health, hardware inventory, and iDRAC details are cached and will not be loaded each time the extension is loaded. To view the latest health and inventory status and iDRAC details, in the upper-right corner of the Health Status, click
Refresh.
