To start the cluster software on a member, type the following commands in this order:

  1. service cman start

  2. service clvmd start, if CLVM has been used to create clustered volumes

  3. service gfs start, if you are using Red Hat GFS

  4. service rgmanager start

To stop the cluster software on a member, type the following commands in this order:

  1. service rgmanager stop

  2. service gfs stop, if you are using Red Hat GFS
