Sys::Cluster: default

Address x.x.x.x/22 Availability available State enabled Reason Cluster Enabled Primary Slot ID 1 Primary Selection Time 08/26/15 16:17:36

 

| Sys::Cluster Members | ID Address Availability State Licensed HA Clusterd Reason

 

| 1 x.x.x.x available enabled true active running Run | 2 x.x.x.x available enabled true active running Run
