You can view all of the clusters that are
managed by the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Introduction
Anyone with access to the cluster can launch the SAN Volume Controller Console;
however, users must have administrator access to complete the other
actions on this panel.

module which provides an overview of working with clusters, nodes,
