[ClusterLabs] newbie questions

[Jay Scott]

hooray for me, but, how?

I got about 3/4 of Digimer's list done and got stuck.
I did a pcs cluster status, and, behold, the cluster was up.
I pinged the ClusterIP and it answered.  I didn't know what
to do with the 'delay="x"' part, that's the thing I couldn't figure
out.  (I've been assuming the delay part is a big deal.)

However, there are more things for me to read and more experiments
for me to try so I'm good for now.

Thanks to everyone for the prompt help.
