Apple Qadministrator

Use the Apple Qadministrator application to manually create and modify Apple Qmaster
clusters. Apple Qadministrator can be used on any computer that is on the same network
as the cluster you want to administer. With the administrator password (if one was created),
you can also use Apple Qadministrator to see and modify existing clusters on the network.

Note: Most users will not need to use Apple Qadministrator to create or manage their
clusters, instead using This Computer Plus and QuickClusters.

Use Apple Qadministrator to assemble clusters:

Drag available service
nodes to assign them
to a cluster.

For details about using Apple Qadministrator, see the Apple Qadministrator User Manual.
