The cluster_config utility prompts you to specify whether you want to configure the
Linux virtual server (LVS) director to act as a real server, that
is, a node that accepts login sessions.
If you answer yes, the
LVS director is configured to act as a login session server in addition
to arbitrating and dispersing the login session connections.
If you answer no, the LVS
director does not participate as a login session server; its only
function is to arbitrate and disperse login sessions to other nodes.
This gives you the flexibility to place the login role on the head node yet keep the head node load to a minimum
because login sessions are not being spawned.
This configuration choice is documented in the HP XC System Software Installation Guide.
