It's rather too much to go into on the mailing list.  I first recommend
you google "linux +cluster" for some background information.  You
probably should also join the linux-cluster mailing list for details
on this.  If you purchased the RHEL HA package or GFS system, check
your manuals.

Generally, you need a SAN of some sort to provide the storage
(fiberchannel disk array, iSCSI array, something).  You then need to
install the cluster software and kernel patches, decide on what kind
of device management you need (gulm, dlm, etc.) and fire it up.

As I said, it's too complicated to give you a tutorial on a mailing
list.
