Tip

While system-config-cluster provides several convenient tools for configuring

and managing a Red Hat Cluster, the newer, more comprehensive tool, Conga,

provides more convenience and flexibility than system-config-cluster. You

may want to consider using Conga instead (refer to Chapter 3, Configuring Red

Hat Cluster With Conga and Chapter 4, Managing Red Hat Cluster With Conga).
