Compute nodes

A compute node is a physical compute resource containing CPU and memory. Up to four compute nodes can be housed in a compute block.

The ThinkAgile CP Cloud Controller management console displays an abstraction of each compute block, along with each node within the enclosure on the Hardware Stack page.

Refer to the following topics for information about working with compute nodes.

  • View compute nodes
    Infrastructure admin and infrastructure viewer users can view information about the compute nodes that are associated with an organization.
  • Manage compute nodes
    Infrastructure admin users can perform actions on compute nodes, such as restarting a compute node. The actions that are available for a compute node vary, depending on the state of the node.
  • Migration zones
    A migration zone provides a way to organize a collection of resources virtually and consists of a defined set of compute nodes and connectivity to storage. One compute node can belong to one migration zone, and migration zones can connect to one or more storage nodes.
