2. 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 example, 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

2. 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 4.1, “Starting a New Config-

uration File”).
