Some time you may be unable to contact the cluster member if you configure the external ip in the member object. Try using the internal ip if the smartcenter server is inside your network....Ramki

It is often the case that when you create a cluster, only the current
cluster master can receive traffic.  This is due to some settings on the
cluster gateway object.  Under "3rd Party Config" you will find some
options:  Hide Cluster Member's outgoing traffic behind Cluster IP, and
Forward Cluster incoming traffic to Cluster Member IP.

I turn both of these options off.  When they are on, the secondary
member will try to send out NTP or DNS requests, and they get NAT'd
behind the cluster IP, then when the replies come in, they are directed
to the primary member, which doesn't understand why it is receiving such
traffic.  The traffic never reaches the secondary member that initiated
the traffic.

By turning these off, the traffic can reach the particular cluster
member that originated the traffic.
