node to be the cluster controller for this cluster, do the following:
a In the “Share this computer as” section, select one of the following buttons:
• “Services and QuickCluster controller”
• “Services and cluster controller”
For more information on creating cluster controllers, see the
Distributed Processing Setup Guide, available in Apple Qmaster Help.

section, and that its checkbox in the Share column is selected.
4 Click the “Options for selected service” button in the Services pane.

is already on. If the service is on, click the Stop Sharing button so that you can access the
“Options for selected service” button.
