Abstract
There are several ways to install the software needed for High Availability clusters: either from a command line, using zypper, or with YaST which provides a graphical user interface. After installing the software on all nodes that will be part of your cluster, the next step is to initially configure the cluster so that the nodes can communicate with each others. This can either be done manually (by editing a configuration file) or with the YaST cluster module.
