Use the domain name in the Public DNS field to remotely log in to the Red Hat Amazon Machine Image instance by using the following commands:

# ssh -i Key_Pair_File Public_DNS
# sudo su

For example, the key pair file name is rhs-aws.pem, and the Public DNS is ec2-user@ec2-23-20-52-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com:

# ssh -i rhs-aws.pem ec2-user@ec2-23-20-52-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com
# sudo su

Verify that the glusterd daemon is running on the instance using the following command:

# service glusterd status
