Complete!
[root@nglinux ~]# 

4. Make sure selinux is in permissive mode

[root@nglinux ~]# getenforce 
Permissive
[root@nglinux ~]# 

The redhat cluster is now installed on both nodes and on first master node, LUCI gui is also installed.

Now lets check out how to configure the cluster.

5. First start the ricci service

[root@nglinux ~]# service ricci start
Starting oddjobd:                                          [  OK  ]
generating SSL certificates...  done
Generating NSS database...  done
Starting ricci:                                            [  OK  ]

6. Now set the password for ricci user.

[root@nglinux ~]# passwd ricci
Changing password for user ricci.
New password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
BAD PASSWORD: is too simple
Retype new password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@nglinux ~]# 

7. On the master node, start the luci service.

[root@nglinux ~]# service luci start
Adding following auto-detected host IDs (IP addresses/domain names), corresponding to `localhost.localdomain' address, to the configuration of self-managed certificate `/var/lib/luci/etc/cacert.config' (you can change them by editing `/var/lib/luci/etc/cacert.config', removing the generated certificate `/var/lib/luci/certs/host.pem' and restarting luci):
	(none suitable found, you can still do it manually as mentioned above)

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
writing new private key to '/var/lib/luci/certs/host.pem'
Start luci...                                              [  OK  ]
Point your web browser to https://localhost.localdomain:8084 (or equivalent) to access luci
[root@nglinux ~]# 

Now you have GUI also installed on first master node and ricci user/password setup on both nodes alongwith ricci service.

8. Open LUCI Web GUI
To proceed further, lets try to open the GUI and we will find below screen.


9. Login to GUI using ricci username and password
After login, we will see below screen to manage our redhat cluster.


The next step is to create the cluster and configure it.

10. Create Cluster & its configuration
We need to add new cluster and configure it from backend file /etc/cluster/cluster.conf to continue with the cluster configuration.

I will take a pause here since this article is already toooo long now 😛 and we will continue with cluster configuration steps in next post :).
