Section 7.3:Starting the Piranha Configuration Tool Service
For a password to be more secure, it should not contain proper nouns,
commonly used acronyms, or words in a dictionary from any language.
Also, do not leave the password in clear text anywhere on the system.
If the password is changed during an active Piranha Configuration Tool session, the administrator
will be prompted to provide the new password.

7.3 Starting the Piranha Configuration Tool Service

After you have set the password for the Piranha Configuration Tool, start or restart the pi-
ranha-gui service located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/piranha-gui. To do this, type the
following command as root:
/sbin/service piranha-gui start
Issuing this command starts a private session of Apache (httpd) by calling the symbolic
link /usr/sbin/piranha_gui -> /usr/sbin/httpd.
piranha-gui version of httpd runs as the piranha user in a separate process. The fact the
piranha-gui leverages the httpd service means two things:
1. Apache must be installed on the system.
2. Stopping or restarting Apache via the service command will stop the piranha-gui service.
If the command service httpd stop or service httpd
restart is issued on an LVS router, you will need to start the
piranha-gui service by issuing the following command:
/sbin/service piranha-gui start
The piranha-gui service is all that is necessary to begin configuring an LVS cluster. However,
if you are configuring the cluster remotely, the sshd service is also required. You do not need to
start the pulse service until configuration using the Piranha Configuration Tool is complete. See
Section 9.8, Starting the Cluster for information on starting the pulse service.
