Cluster Administrator

Administrators use cluster management applications to configure, control, and monitor clusters. Cluster Administrator is one such application and exists for this purpose. On computers that are not cluster nodes, for example Windows XP Professional, you install Cluster Administrator using Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools. On computers running the Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition family of products, Cluster Administrator is installed, along with the Cluster service, when you install the operating system.

Important

  • Only computers running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition can be cluster nodes.

For more information, see Installing Cluster Administrator on a remote computer.

You use Cluster Administrator to create the cluster, join nodes to the cluster, manage cluster objects, establish groups, initiate failover, handle maintenance, and monitor cluster activity through a convenient graphical interface. Developers providing their own resource types can write an extension that enables Cluster Administrator to manage their custom types. For more information on developing extensions, see the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).
