How Data is Collected from Clusters

Consider a Windows cluster in an Active/Passive configuration. The cluster has two nodes, N1 (active) and N2 (passive). N1 has the physical volumes C, D, E, Q and S. N2 has the physical volumes X and Y. The cluster has a quorum disk Q, and an Exchange virtual server is installed on a shared disk S.

Provided that you have registered the physical nodes, the cluster, and the virtual server, the following table describes how volume data is collected from the nodes, the virtual server and the cluster.

Additionally, if you wanted to collect application-specific information from the Exchange server, you would need to register the Exchange server using the Exchange Registration Wizard.
