ClusterXL R81.20 SmartConsole display different cluster configuration

[Mattia140831]

Hi,

I created a VSX cluster using ClusterXL (version R81.20, Jumbo HF Take 146). When checking via SSH on the R82 management server (Jumbo Hotfix Take 107) using the `vsx_util vsls` command, it correctly displays the load-sharing configuration; however, in SmartConsole R82, it appears as non-editable and shows "High Availability" selected.

The gateways in the vsx cluster are hosted on two virtual machine(R81.20 Jumbo HF Take 146 each).

So, my question is:

why does SSH on the management server show load sharing, while SmartConsole shows high availability?

Because what is showing in SmartConsole is a legacy option: to switch a cluster between HA and VSLS.
This was officially deprecated in R81.10.
Unless the VSX Cluster was originally installed with R81 or earlier, this particular pane of the object is "dimmed" and does not reflect current configuration/state.
