40 Chapter 3. Installing and Conﬁguring Red Hat Cluster Suite Software

To automatically install RPMs, follow these steps at each node:

1. Log on as the root user.

2. Run up2date --installall --channel Label for Red Hat Cluster Suite. The

following example shows running the command for i386 RPMs:

# up2date --installall --channel rhel-i386-as-4-cluster

3. (Optional) If you are installing Red Hat GFS, run up2date --installall

--channel Label for Red Hat GFS. The following example shows running the

command for i386 RPMs:

# up2date --installall --channel rhel-i386-as-4-gfs-6.1

Note

The preceding procedure accommodates most installation requirements.

However, if your installation has extreme limitations on storage and RAM, refer to

Appendix B Selectively Installing Red Hat Cluster Suite Packages for more detailed

information about Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat GFS RPM packages and

customized installation of those packages.

3.4. Starting the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool

You can start the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool by logging in to a cluster node as root with

the ssh -Y command and issuing the system-config-cluster command. For exam-

ple, to start the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool on cluster node nano-01, do the following:

1. Log in to a cluster node and run system-config-cluster. For example:

$ssh -Y root@nano-01

#system-config-cluster

a. If this is the ﬁrst time you have started the Cluster Conﬁguration Tool, the

program prompts you to either open an existing conﬁguration or create a new

one. Click Create New Conﬁguration to start a new conﬁguration ﬁle (refer

to Figure 3-3).
