Why does the Clusters function in iSeries Navigator show a signon window to my nodes in the cluster?
In some cases, iSeries Navigator will try to communicate with all of the nodes in the cluster. This depends on the state of your cluster. When iSeries Navigator needs to communicate with a node, it will first search the existing signon cache in iSeries Navigator to try to find an existing open connection. If it does not find an existing connection, it will then ask the user to sign on. If you cancel the signon window, iSeries Navigator will make an attempt to allow the user to do cluster operations. Some operations may not be possible if iSeries Navigator can’t communicate with the nodes.
In some cases, Simple Cluster Management will try to communicate with all of the nodes in the cluster. This depends on the state of your cluster. When Simple Cluster Management needs to communicate with a node, it will first search the existing signon cache in iSeries Navigator to try to find an existing open connection. If it does not find an existing connection, it will then ask the user to sign on. If you cancel the signon window, Simple Cluster Management will make an attempt to allow the user to do cluster operations. Some operations may not be possible if Simple Cluster Management can’t communicate with the nodes.
