Cluster service

The Cluster service manages all cluster-specific activity. The Cluster service is installed at the same time as the operating system. One instance of the Cluster service runs on every node in a cluster. The Cluster service handles the following operations:

  • Manages cluster objects and configuration

  • Manages local restart policy

  • Coordinates with other instances of the Cluster service in the cluster

  • Handles event notification

  • Facilitates communication among other software components

  • Performs failover operations

For more information on cluster objects, see Cluster Objects.
