RHEL cluster: force a service to start on a particular node

i am practicing RHEL (5.3) clustering on a test environment. it is a two node cluster.
i have a ftp server and a apache web server.
i have my data on a common storage formatted with ext3.
when i configure the cluster and start the cluster services i am able to define the failover domain for the services but i dont find a place where i can define which node a service should start when the cluster is first started.
and i dont see a fallback option either. i think i am missing something but i dont know what.
please guide
following is my cluster.conf file.







































<script file="/etc/init.d/httpd" name="apacheScript"/>






<script ref="apacheScript"/>

Hi,

In RHCS there is nothing called preferred node, neither fallback option, It done by using the priority.

from the failover domain, check Prioritized box, then put the priority value in the priority text box for each node.
