The link gives you the packages (you just import the repository in yum 
as described) and the manuals for the Cluster Suite (CS) and GFS. 
According to the gfs manual, you can't install it without CS at all (for 
Redhat and his friends; at least, not in a idiot-proof way e.g. 
cluster.conf). After a first manual distribution of the cluster.conf 
file the CS arranges the distribution of all services and shared file 
systems. The deployment of the rpm's is done by the rocks cluster 
distribution, which is really comfortable and worth a look.

Good luck!
