Table 2‒5: EADS server cluster participation statuses
Cluster participation status		Description
Participation status	Status displayed by the eztool status command	Description
Participating in the cluster	`online`	The EADS server is participating in the active cluster.
Not participating in the cluster	`offline`	The EADS server is not participating in the active cluster. An EADS server that has been deleted from the cluster for a reason such as a communication error is placed in this status. An EADS server in this status might not be available for data access processing or command execution. An EADS server in this status can resume participation in the cluster after its status has been checked and it is recovered.
On standby to participate in the cluster	`standby`	The EADS server has never participated in the active cluster. An EADS server defined in the cluster properties is in this status when it has not started. Once an EADS server in this status is started, it is participating in the cluster.
