52 Chapter 4 Creating and Administering Clusters
Step 2: Assign service nodes to the cluster
1 If the Qmaster Service Browser is not already displayed, click the disclosure triangle
to see it.
2 Add service nodes to the new cluster by dragging them from the Qmaster Service
Browser list at the bottom of the window, up to the cluster’s service nodes list.
 If there is a closed lock icon next to a computer name, click the lock and enter the
password that was assigned to it in the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to drag that service node into the cluster.
 Service nodes that are already assigned to another cluster are not shown.
Note: The computer names you see at the top level of the Name columns may appear
in one of three formats, depending on your configuration: the computer name (for
example, Lemur node), the Apple networking name (for example, Lemur-node.local),
or the network address for the computer (for example, 02030b-dhcp45.company.com).
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 Batch Monitor.
