The ClusterCATS Explorer Main Window  
 
 

The ClusterCATS Explorer presents a view of your cluster in much the same manner as the Microsoft Explorer presents a view of the files and directories that reside on your own computer. Each of the objects in a ClusterCATS cluster configuration -- clusters, servers, files, and applications -- are represented by a unique icon. You can manipulate these icons in much the same manner as you expand and collapse directory trees in the Explorer application.

The ClusterCATS interface comprises four distinct areas:

  • Toolbar -- Button access to the most frequently used ClusterCATS functions.
  • Left Pane -- Contains various views of cluster objects.
  • Right Pane -- Contains the view folder and files for the object currently selected in the left pane.
 
 
  Refresh Status  
 

The ClusterCATS Explorer has an auto refresh feature. When auto refresh is turned off, the server status is updated every five seconds. Disabling auto refresh can improve performance when you are running on a slow link.

Turn on Auto Refresh from the View > Auto Refresh menu. To manually refresh the Explorer display, press F5 or select View > Refresh to get an update of directories and files in the current cluster.

 
 
  ClusterCATS Explorer icons  
 
 

Each of the objects comprising a Cluster has a unique icon by which it is identified. Some of the icons can be displayed in several states. Figure 2 illustrates each of the icons and their states.
