The Piranha Configuration Tool provides a structured approach to creating the necessary configuration file for a Piranha cluster — /etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf. This chapter describes the basic operation of the Piranha Configuration Tool and how to activate the cluster once configuration is complete.

Important

The configuration file for the LVS cluster follows strict formatting rules. Using the Piranha Configuration Tool is the best way to prevent syntax errors in the lvs.cf and therefore prevent software failures.
