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.
