# cd pcs-0.10.1
# make install
# make install_pcsd
```

If you are using GNU/Linux with systemd, it is now time to:
```shell
# systemctl daemon-reload
```

### Quick Start

* **Authenticate cluster nodes**

Set the same password for the `hacluster` user on all nodes.
  ```shell
  # passwd hacluster
  ```

To authenticate the nodes, run the following command on one of the nodes
  (replacing node1, node2, node3 with a list of nodes in your future cluster).
  Specify all your cluster nodes in the command. Make sure pcsd is running on
  all nodes.
  ```shell
  # pcs host auth node1 node2 node3 -u hacluster
  ```

* **Create a cluster**

To create a cluster run the following command on one node (replacing
  cluster\_name with a name of your cluster and node1, node2, node3 with a list
  of nodes in the cluster). `--start` and `--enable` will start your cluster
  and configure the nodes to start the cluster on boot respectively.
  ```shell
  # pcs cluster setup cluster_name node1 node2 node3 --start --enable
  ```

* **Check the cluster status**

After a few moments the cluster should startup and you can get the status of
   the cluster.
   ```shell
   # pcs status
   ```

* **Add cluster resources**

After this you can add stonith agents and resources:
   ```shell
   # pcs -h stonith create
   ```
   and
   ```shell
   # pcs -h resource create
   ```

### Accessing the Web UI

Apart from command line interface you can use web user interface to view and
configure your cluster. To access the web UI open a browser to the following
URL (replace nodename with an address of your node):
```
https://nodename:2224
```
Login as the `hacluster` user.
