The Quorum Server executable file, qs, is installed on Red Hat in the /usr/local/qs/bin
directory, and on SUSE in the/opt/qs/bin directory.
When the installation is complete, you need to create an authorization file on the server where the
Quorum Server will be running, to allow specific host systems to obtain quorum services. See
“Creating and Updating the Authorization File” (page 18).
Now create a directory for the Quorum Server log file. The recommended pathnames are in Table 3
(page 17). (You may need to create the directory.)
Updating the Quorum Server
An update can be done while the cluster the Quorum Server system is running, but the Quorum
Server’s tie-breaking services will not be available while the update is in progress (For more
information, see “Replacing a Failed Quorum Server System” (page 19)).
CAUTION: If you are updating Serviceguard as well, the Quorum Server update must be done
before you update Serviceguard.
