To install the Cluster Suite software on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS system, you can use the yum
package manager. yum
is a tool that allows you to install, update, and remove packages from the system.
Before you begin, make sure that you have a valid subscription to the Red Hat Cluster Suite and that you have configured the system to access the Red Hat repositories. Consult the Red Hat documentation for more information.
Here's an example of how to install the Cluster Suite software using yum

$ sudo yum install -y cluster-glue cluster-glue-libs cluster-glue-python pcs pcs-python fence-agents-all

daemon is the main component of the Cluster Suite, and it must be running in order for the software to function properly. To start pcsd
, use the following command:$ sudo systemctl start pcsd
pcsd
to start at boot. To configure pcsd
to start automatically when the system boots, use the following command:$ sudo systemctl enable pcsd
pcsd
service to listen on a specific network interface. By default, pcsd

Replace <interface_name>
with the name of the network interface.
