Using Apple Remote Desktop to Create and Administer
Shake Cluster Computers Remotely

You can conveniently set up and control Shake service nodes and cluster
controllers over a network or over the Internet, using Apple Remote Desktop.
Apple Remote Desktop, using real-time screen sharing, lets you configure and
administer Shake service nodes and cluster controllers that are running
Mac OS X. For example, from one computer, you can turn services on and off
and mount shared storage devices on cluster computers. You can also use
Apple Remote Desktop to distribute or install the software, configure headless
service nodes, and control desktops from anywhere on the network. For more
information, see

For details on configuring and managing service nodes, cluster controllers, and
clusters, see the Apple Qmaster 2 documentation.
