In this exercise, you will create a new cluster in an existing data center in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Outcomes
You should be able to create a new cluster.
Log in to workstation as the student user with student as the password.
On workstation, run the lab datacenters-createcluster start command.
This command runs a start script that determines if the Red Hat Virtualization environment is configured and working.
