Apple Qadministrator 4 - Manual (Page 14)

3 When you have finished adding service nodes, click Apply.
Your cluster is now ready to process batches.
Note: Although Apple Qadministrator currently allows you to create a cluster with
unmanaged services, valid clusters require at least one managed service for the cluster
to be viewable in Apple Qmaster, Compressor, and Share Monitor.
Modifying and Deleting Clusters with Apple Qadministrator
Using Apple Qadministrator, you can change and delete clusters. Once a cluster is
configured, you can use Apple Qadministrator to deactivate and reactivate the processing
services on a computer in the cluster, to add a service node to the cluster, or to remove
a service node from the cluster.
If you want to change the cluster controller in a cluster, you need to delete the cluster
and then re-create it with a new cluster controller.
Note: Unless Apple Qadministrator and the QuickCluster are on the same computer,
QuickClusters are not visible in Apple Qadministrator. Only managed clusters can be
modified and deleted in Apple Qadministrator. Managed clusters are clusters that were
created in Apple Qadministrator. QuickClusters must be modified in the Apple Qmaster
Sharing window of Compressor.
To modify a cluster
1 Open Apple Qadministrator.
2 In the Cluster list (on the left side of the window), select the cluster you want to change.
If the cluster’s Service Nodes list isn’t already showing individual services, click the
disclosure triangle in the Name column to reveal them.
Make any of the following changes.
• To temporarily turn off the processing services on a computer in the cluster: Deselect the
Active checkbox for that service node.
