Configure Physical Nodes

The Physical Nodes page displays a list of physical nodes and clusters. It provides information about a device’s cluster ID, role, model, connection status, device status, and many other details.

To access physical nodes attached to an instance of GigaVUE-FM, log into GigaVUE-FM. On the left navigation pane, click on and under Physical, select Nodes to view all the physical nodes and clusters managed by GigaVUE-FM.

The Physical Nodes page displays the following information:

Field	Description
Cluster Id	The name of the cluster.
Host Name	The host name of the box.
Task Status	The status of the upgrade process. When the upgrade process is in progress, the task status displays the number of steps completed successfully out of the total number of steps to be completed. For example, upgrade: step (2/5) Image Fetch Complete. Once the upgrade process is complete, the upgrade status is displayed as Upgrade Success or Upgrade Failure. Note: To clear the task status of the upgrade process, select the required cluster IDs and choose Actions > Clear Task status option.
Node Address	The IP address of the physical node. Note: When assigning an IP address to a device using DHCP, the IP address may change after a reload or device upgrade, resulting in lost connectivity. Previous entries are retained in the node, and stale entries are retained in the GigaVUE-FM database even though the configuration has been deleted from the GigaVUE‑FM end. To resolve this issue, Map the IP address to the Mac address of the node in the DHCP server so that FM won't end up in this state due to the IP address change.
Role	The role of the node in the cluster. The role of the node can be one of Leader, Standalone, Member, or Standby.
Model	The type of the GigaVUE HC Series model.
Box Id	The box Identifier of the node.
Serial Number	Serial number of the device.
SW Version	The version number of GigaVUE-FM.
Licensed	The status of the physical node or Advanced Features license.
Attempted Sync Time	The time and date when the physical node attempted synchronizing with GigaVUE‑FM.
Successful Sync Time	The time and date when the physical node was last synchronized with GigaVUE‑FM.
Health	The current health status of the GigaVUE node or cluster. To know about how the device health status is computed, refer to Node Health Status. Note: You can monitor the health status of the device by enabling the SNMP notifications. For more information on configuring the email notifications, refer to the “Notifications” section in the GigaVUE Administration Guide.
Alarm	Alarm triggered by the device.
Tag	The tag or site name and value associated to the physical node or cluster. The tag names associated to the physical node or cluster are displayed as separate columns. Under the tag or site name, the respective tag or site value is displayed.
Uboot Version	Uboot version of the device.

Note: The columns in the Physical Nodes page can be customized based on the type of content you want to view in the table. For customizing the columns, refer to Table View Customization.

Changes made to the cluster through the CLI are reflected in GigaVUE-FM when it synchronizes with the cluster, which is typically every 5 minutes.

If the latest configuration data is not retrieved from the cluster for more than 30 minutes, a warning is displayed in the cluster Overview page indicating the last time GigaVUE-FM successfully synchronized with the cluster.

To view the last synchronized status, click the cluster and view the status at the top of the Overview page.
