3.2. Starting luci and ricci

Note

Before starting luci and ricci, ensure that the IP ports on your cluster nodes allow connections to port 11111 from the luci server on any nodes that luci will be communicating with. For information on enabling IP ports on cluster nodes, see Section 2.3.1, “Enabling IP Ports on Cluster Nodes”.

To administer Red Hat High Availability Add-On with Conga, install and run luci and ricci as follows:

At each node to be administered by Conga, install the ricci agent. For example:
```
# yum install ricci
```

At each node to be administered by Conga, start ricci. For example:

# service ricci start
Starting ricci:                                            [  OK  ]

Select a computer to host luci and install the luci software on that computer. For example:
```
# yum install luci
```
Note
Typically, a computer in a server cage or a data center hosts luci; however, a cluster computer can host luci.

Start luci using service luci start. For example:

# service luci start
Starting luci: generating https SSL certificates...  done
                                                           [  OK  ]

Please, point your web browser to https://nano-01:8084 to access luci

At a Web browser, place the URL of the luci server into the URL address box and click Go (or the equivalent). The URL syntax for the luci server is https://luci_server_hostname:8084. The first time you access luci, two SSL certificate dialog boxes are displayed. Upon acknowledging the dialog boxes, your Web browser displays the luci login page.
From the luci login page, enter the root ID and root password for the system that is hosting luci.
After you log on, luci displays the Homebase page, as shown in Figure 3.1, “luci Homebase page”.
