A message appears confirming that the server has been reset.
3. Exit the ClusterCATS Server Administrator.
4. Return to the computer from which you run the ClusterCATS Explorer.
5. Use the ClusterCATS Explorer to recreate a cluster that includes this server or
create a new cluster that contains this server as a cluster member.

Administering UNIX-based Clusters

The ClusterCATS Explorer was originally created for the Windows platform.
Consequently, administrators in a UNIX environment either must obtain a Windows
machine (NT, 98, or 95) to run the Windows-based ClusterCATS Explorer, or they can
install and use the cross-platform Web-based Explorer together with ClusterCATS
server utilities.
This section addresses the following topics:

Using the ClusterCATS Web Explorer

Using the ClusterCATS server utilities
Using the ClusterCATS Web Explorer
ColdFusion Enterprise includes the ClusterCATS Web Explorer. It allows
administrators in UNIX-only environments to use a graphical, cross-platform, Web-
based utility to create, configure, and administer ClusterCATS clusters. You can only
install the Web Explorer on UNIX servers.
Note
If you require any of these capabilities, you should obtain a Windows machine
and use the Windows-based ClusterCATS Explorer.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks using the ClusterCATS Web
Explorer:
The Web Explorer, like its Windows counterpart, is quite robust and lets
you configure and administer clusters easily. However, it does not
contain the identical functionality provided by the Windows-based
ClusterCATS Explorer. The Web Explorer does not let you do the
following:
install and run the Explorer on an NT server; it runs only from UNIX
servers
create and administer NT servers that have security enabled
set or modify load thresholds via a graphical display
monitor the amount of load hitting the server via a graphical display; the
server's load statistics are only displayed textually on the Cluster
Member List and Server Properties pages
