Chapter 6. Managing Red Hat Cluster With system-config-cluster
This chapter describes various administrative tasks for managing a Red Hat Cluster and consists of the following sections:
Note
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).
6.1. Starting and Stopping the Cluster Software
To start the cluster software on a member, type the following commands in this order:
service cman startservice clvmd start, if CLVM has been used to create clustered volumesservice gfs start, if you are using Red Hat GFSservice rgmanager start
To stop the cluster software on a member, type the following commands in this order:
service rgmanager stopservice gfs stop, if you are using Red Hat GFSservice clvmd stop, if CLVM has been used to create clustered volumesservice cman stop
Stopping the cluster services on a member causes its services to fail over to an active member.
