If the node information and passwords are correct, Conga automatically installs software into the cluster nodes and starts the cluster. Create a cluster as follows:

- Click .
- At the text box, enter a cluster name. The cluster name cannot exceed 15 characters. Add the node name and password for each cluster node. Enter the node name for each node in the column; enter the root password for each node in the column. Check the checkbox if clustered storage is required.
- Click . Clicking causes the following actions:
- Cluster software packages to be downloaded onto each cluster node.
- Cluster software to be installed onto each cluster node.
- Cluster configuration file to be created and propagated to each node in the cluster.
- Starting the cluster.
A progress page shows the progress of those actions for each node in the cluster.When the process of creating a new cluster is complete, a page is displayed providing a configuration interface for the newly created cluster.
