Managing your high availability cluster
You can manage your high availability cluster using the HA Cluster Management page or in a Network Operations Center (NOC) integrated with the Pega API.
- The HA Cluster Management page details the current status of any nodes running in high availability mode and is used to perform quiesce actions for a node.
- The Pega API provides RESTAPIs for managing quiesce and other operations. For more information about using the Pega API to manage high availability clusters, see Integrating with APIs and services.
