Node: node01
Resource: node01
Severity: Major
Indication Time: Mon Oct 07 13:19:08 2019
Suppress: false
Acknowledge: false
Probable Cause: One or more nodes are not connected to both cluster switches.
Possible Effect: If one cluster switch fails, "node01" might lose access to the cluster.
Corrective Actions: Ensure the switch "switch02" is connected to the node "node01".
