Creating and Administering Clusters

Step 2:

Assign service nodes to the cluster

1

If the Qmaster Services Browser is not already displayed, click the disclosure triangle to
see it.

2

Add service nodes to the new cluster by dragging them from the Qmaster Service
Browser list at the bottom of the window, up to the cluster’s service nodes list.

 If there is a closed lock icon next to a computer name, click the lock and enter the

password that was assigned to it in the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to drag that service node into the cluster.

 Service nodes that are already assigned to another cluster are not shown.

Note: The computer names you see at the top level of the Name columns may appear
in one of three formats, depending on your configuration: the computer name (for
example, Lemur node), the Apple networking name (for example, Lemur-node.local), or
the network address for the computer (for example, 02030b-dhcp45.company.com).

3

When you have finished adding service nodes, click Apply.

Your cluster is now ready to process batches.

Click this disclosure

triangle to see

available nodes.

Clicking this disclosure

triangle displays

each instance of the

services set in

System Preferences

for this node.

Drag nodes to
this list from the
Service Browser list.
