Hi !

What kind of cluster ? Is it for high-availibity ? Will there be shared 
storage ?

I got with the same questions in the past monthts, and you can take a look 
at the doc :

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Cluster_Suite_Overview/index.html

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Cluster_Administration/index.html

These are from the Upstream vendor's and that is what's included with CentIS 
5.5 (sson to be 5.6). CentOS 6 isn't out yet, but should be in the following 
months.

You can also subscribe to the linux-cluster list :

http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster

This list is very friendly and very centos-open.

If you're not a sys-admin, you will probably need to get one to administer 
such cluster.
