View external node Outage properties

Properties for external nodes in the console tree Nodes folder are configured by your administrator and can be viewed in a read-only dialog box.

Use the Outage tab of the External Node Properties dialog box to view outage information for an external node. This read-only tab displays the settings established for both unplanned and scheduled outages.

A scheduled outage meets these criteria:

• Planned to happen
• Recurs at regular intervals for maintenance
• Configured by a policy

An unplanned outage is unexpected and can occur randomly.

Only administrators can put an external node into maintenance mode.
