Apple Compressor (4.0) - Manual (Page 258)

Chapter 9 Use Apple Qadministrator to create and modify clusters 258
The Apple Qadministrator window appears. If a password was created for the currently selected
cluster, you will not be able to see or modify the cluster until you click the Lock button and then
enter the password in the dialog that appears.
Create and modify a cluster
After you configure managed service nodes or cluster controllers in Apple Qmaster, you can view
them in Apple Qadministrator. Next, you’ll use Apple Qadministrator to create and modify Apple
Qmaster clusters.
There are two basic steps to creating a managed cluster with Apple Qadministrator. First
you create a new cluster and select the cluster controller, and then you add service nodes to
the cluster. After a cluster is configured, you can use Apple Qadministrator to deactivate and
reactivate the processing services on a computer in the cluster, add a service node to the cluster,
or 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: QuickClusters are not visible in Apple Qadministrator unless Apple Qadministrator and
the QuickCluster are on the same computer. Only managed clusters (clusters that were created
in Apple Qmaster) can be modified and deleted in Apple Qadministrator. QuickClusters must
be modified in the Apple Qmaster Sharing window of Compressor. For more information, see
Creating service nodes and cluster controllers overview on page 222.
Create a new cluster
1 In Compressor, choose Apple Qmaster > Administer Clusters.
2 In the Apple Qadministrator window, click the Add (+) button, select Untitled Cluster, and rename it.
