# MGTs window

Contents

At the MGT window, you can do the following:

• | View your existing management target (if configured). Here you can determine the Capacity, Type, and high availability (HA) Status of the MGT. If this is an HA target, then the primary and secondary servers are identified. A green check mark indicates this target and server are functioning normally.

• | Select storage for a new MGT and then create a new MGT. This task is not common; MGTs are created when you click Create File System at the Configuration > File Systems window.

Under MGT Configuration for an existing MGT, you can perform these actions under Actions:

• | Stop: Stop the MGT. When an MGT is stopped, clients are unable to make new connections to the file systems using this MGT. However, the MDT and OST(s) stay up if they were started before this MGT was stopped, and can be stopped and restarted while this MGT is stopped.

• | Failover: Clicking Failover will forcibly migrate the target to its failover server. Clients attempting to access data on the target while the migration is in process may experience delays until the migration completes. If this action is not displayed, then the MGT has already failed-over and this button will display as Failback. Otherwise, a secondary server has not been configured.

• | Failback: Migrate the target back to its primary server. Clients attempting to access data on the target while the migration is in process may experience delays until the migration completes. This action is displayed only after a target has failed-over.
