Resolution
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
To get support for Cluster Suite , a Cluster Suite subscription for each node in the cluster is required. For example, for a two node cluster, two Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (or ES) and two Cluster Suite subscriptions are required.
If there is GFS(global file system) deployed on the cluster, a GFS subscription for each node in the cluster is required as well.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
To get support for Cluster Suite, please activate at least two Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 AP(advanced platform) subscription, because there is Cluster and ClusterStorage component integrated in AP subscription. If you have only Standard Server subscription of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, please contact Red Hat products and offerings to update your subscription to AP.
But please note that, if you have Advanced Platform or Standard Server subscriptions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and want to deploy Red Hat Cluster on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, you will have to purchase and activate Red Hat Cluster Suite subscription on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 if you want to get technical support of cluster from Red Hat.
